Max Effort Hydraulic Lifters The Max Effort high output lifters were designed specifically for higher revving applications. Perfect for race applications which require a hydraulic lifter or high performance street applications that need an extra edge. These lifters can show a noticeable increase of power from 5,000 rpm and up. Important: pre-load must be set at .002”-.004” (warm) to achieve performance levels. Sets of 12 (6cyl.) or 16 (V8). Made in the USA.

“The Original” Direct Lube™ Extreme Duty Mechanical Lifters Today’s cams have more aggressive lobes. Increasing oil supply to these lobes is critical. A precision “E.D.M.” laser burns a .021” hole in the center of the face of the lifter. This allows a constant oil supply to the cam lobe, allowing higher valve spring pressures, more aggressive profiles and reduced lobe wear. Sets of 16. Made in the USA.
