Gentlemen, I posted that as a parody (right term ?) for the issue of a "problem", and "difficult matter." Nothing else.

Let's see if we can turn this in another direction.

Maybe Skip will post a picture of the two types of Crower lifters I sent to him with a brand new post. Something like.... "solid roller lifters with offset pushrod cups".. or something to bring some positive out of this.
In the picture is what I'm currently using to deal with the pushrod offset. Or someone else can post and ask about offset pushrod cups, or such. No matter.

For example, many individuals who are buying blocks that allow bigger bores might typicaly use "wide port" type heads with offset rockers.
So they might typicaly use lifters with a offset. So lets discuss what type of lifter is commonaly used out there. How have you addressed the oiling issues, and the amount off offset, what trouble was it for you to adapt them to a straight link bar, any piticular brand, etc.

In my case I only need a small amount of offset because my heads are not wide port heads as such. The rocker arm in use has only a 0.170 offset. In comparision a T&D standard Pontiac rocker arm has a 0.080 offset. Previously as noted I used ISKY SBC solid rollers that had a 0.150 offset. Quite some time ago there were pictures of these piticular lifters posted here during a discussion. I posted in regards to 7000-plus RPM use and oiling issues if I remember correctly. It was in my opinion a very good topic. Now fast forward and a change, now we are going to use the current Crower piece with a 0.200 offset.

Now what are the fellows using with the big wide port heads that have 0.200 offset rocker arms, or 0.250 offset rocker arms ? Apparantly there are lots of them out there. Don't know about Comp Cams lifters. From Crower, do they use the 66293 Severe duty rollers for BBC & Big Chief w/offset? I'm curious because they used to be over $900 list.
