I have a new set of T&D rockers that I may end up using on my iron headed 390. These rockers require pushrod oiling, and I am using solid flat tappets, the dumbell type from Comp. From memory, these lifters do not supply oil to the pushrod, so I will need to change both the lifters and pushrods if I end up using these rockers.
Can the other types of lifters, such as the Comp 817's be used in an FE? They have the same 0.875" diameter. Since I would have to get new pushrods, the seat height shouldn't be a problem. Anyone know a reason why they won't work? Or does anyone have another suggestion on how to get around this? Thanks.
