[JC455]

Andrew-
Talking to Jim Lehart, he has at least 20 setups running- some with a significant amount of mileage on them- he's had no issues with them moving up and down.
I'm thinking that if a better mousetrap can be made, make it...
I think the dog bones would work better when fitted more like a Harley lifter cuff, but if the current design works (it does) maybe we're getting too far off course.
Nothing wrong with the KISS design approach.

Can you list the combination of parts that are used in these set-ups that are running now. Also, are the modifications used the ones in the original video?

I was going to PM you John but figured the information would be better posted here, if Jim doesn't mind.

This is a photo from FB in which the LS lifters were used with success.

IDK. I like the idea of the Dog Bones. If that plate has enough clearance, the lifter can twist slightly, and put side loads on the roller. I don't think they can tolerate much of a side load? That plate would be good, as amore rigid way to hold the dog bones down. But I don't like the idea of the dog bones jumping up and down when the flats of the lifters run into them. Just thinking out loud, why not grind the flats of the lifters longer with a surface grinder? I really like this idea though!

Adjusted properly the lifters have less movement side to side than with any Milkbone! The Arrow Injuneering Roller Lifter Guide Plate System is the only way to go! Step Up To The Plate!

I have to smile at your marketing.

I was looking at using BBC 502 roller lifters and grabbing them by the side, but your solution has a certain elegance to it. If I decide to swap out the solids I have I will snap up a set of the lifters you have with the proper oil band.

My prior experience with hydraulic rollers was not good, and Lunati's arrogance concerning their crap product was something to behold.
