COMP Cams Sportsman Solid Roller Lifter Set w/ Bushing for Chevrolet 265-400cu in

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance valvetrain components, and their Sportsman Solid Roller Lifters are a solid option for anyone building a Chevrolet 265-400 cubic inch small block engine. These lifters are designed to be a step up from their Endure-X line and a more budget-friendly alternative to their Elite Race lifters, offering a good balance of performance and value. This particular set features a bronze bushing axle/wheel setup, which is one of the two configurations available, and includes both centered and offset pushrod seat options to suit various engine builds.

What sets these lifters apart is their focus on reliable oiling and increased strength. They feature two pressurized EDM oil feeds directly to the axle, plus an edge orifice feed to the wheel, ensuring consistent lubrication. The design also includes a shallower oil band compared to many competitors, which adds strength and rigidity to the lifter body. Internally, machining helps reduce weight, while the skirted wheel design not only strengthens the lifter ears but also provides more contact with the lifter bore for better stability. Staked axles are used instead of clips, offering robust retention and preventing the ears from spreading under stress. Built from 8620 steel, these lifters are made for increased strength and wear resistance, and the captured link bar design with a tapered and slotted tower adds to the overall stiffness and reduces weight. The tall body design is a notable feature, allowing them to work in both standard and .300" taller lifter bores, which helps reduce wear on the lifter bore itself.

This set includes 16 lifters, with (4) pairs of centered/.160" left offset and (4) pairs of centered/.160" right offset options, giving you flexibility for your specific Chevrolet small block build. They are designed for a .842" diameter bore.
