+1. I was just researching these, and they seem like a GOOD idea. Looks like summit has them for just under 100 bucks a set. Rhoads has a similar designed lifter with a groove like the crower cam savers too.

I think you may be pleasantly surprised how they work.

Crower part #

i use the 66000rx3,this lifter has the heavy cuty spap ring to hold the plunger in instead of a square piece of spring wire..55-58 rockwell hardened..jobber from crower is like 90 bucks

they also have a better lifter,differant material and 63-64 rockwell hardened with mirror polished surface where the cam rides..this one is 66000p3 and jobber is around 182.00

best price is from crower unless joe knows a better place to get them

two names,,one was cam saver and now they call them hi lube lifters..

ps.you will loose about 5-7 psi of oil pressure,,shim the spring in the oil pump with a tiny washer to make up for it..

oil filter has bypass valve, so some junk will get by and can't guarantee cleaning will remove. every engine company has tried to clean oil coolers every way; hot, cold, forward and backward. acid and ultrasonic, still find particles that have or could killed new engine. cheapest option replace it.
