lost a lifter on 1 motor today does anyone have one they want to sell. dont want to buy a whole set. motors are comming out this year for rebuild just trying to make it threw this season. they are the stock crane for gen 6 block carb motors thanks brian

Brian,
You should be able to get a single Crane (if there are any left anywhere) or a Morel one for sure. What actually went bad on the lifter ? If the wheel or bearing came apart I would make sure and examine the cam very carefully.

yes the shaft for the wheel went didnt loose any parts but put a very light score on the cam lobe. like i said am rebuilding them in another month or so just need a little more time. thanks

I have a set of used ones...If you are interested...Do not want to bust up the set..

I'm with Bill on this one. I don't know that I would simply put a new lifter in it and go... If the cam is slightly scored, it could cause more trouble and possibly cause other parts to fail.

Trust me, I know it sucks.... I lost a motor Memorial Day weekend and I have been stuck this summer building the motors again.

I hope it all works out for you.

Upstate, are they the ones I saw? If so they looked like brand new. I get you on not wanting to bust up a set...

Good luck finding 1 Crane lifter on a shelf. After they went out, everyone pulled EVERYTHING. You may want to try a GM dealer for one. Didn't the ZZ502 use the same lifters? A used set for a few hundred dollars might get you thru till the rebuild.

I have a low hour used set - of lifters & rockers - best part is the price - free

didn't the gen Vl's hp 500's use gm lifters ?

Ihave a used set you can have , mine are not the tie bar type they are the lifters with the dog bone.

You had better look at the rest of them.

And, check the inner valve springs to see
if they're broken.
