How to change from a roller to solid??

Smokedawg · 10-03-2001, 10:51 AM

When my afr 205's and TF-R intake comes in, I will be running solid lifters and cam. What all do I have to do to make the switch from roller lifters to solid? Just a simple swap?? I believe I get rid of the X-Connectors that hook the roller lifters together..

i think you have to change cam bearings, and get rif of the x connectors, also the lock plate, maybe new rocker studs but not sure??

Switching to a solid roler can be expensive. It put allot of added stress on the valvetrain so you will need to get good strong parts. This is what I would do to be safe.

One peice pushrods
titanium locks and retainers
new springs
and a stud girdle to keep it all on track.

If you order your heads complete you can tell them you are runing a solid cam and they can make the changes.
