Retro Roller Lifters

Just need to know which way to put these in. Theres a link bar that connects to the top of the lifter. Not sure weather the link bar should be on the inside (more towards the lifter valley) or on the outside (closer to the heads).

Re: Retro Roller Lifters

You'll probably find that they only go in with the link bar towards the center. If the link bar is towards the outside it will rub against the block.

Re: Retro Roller Lifters
