: Has anyone every tried running mushroom lifters
: in a slant motor? I would guess you could
: get some pretty fast opening rates with them
: which should help cylinder filling on
: standard rod length engines.

: There is lots of room in the cam galley to do
: mushroom lifters, you will have to machine
: the backside of the lifter bores to get the
: needed clearance. The SL6 really likes
: having the valve open at full lift for as
: long as possible so this is worth the
: effort. Most of the work will be getting a
: nice grind on the cam its self, the lifter
: install should be "cake".

: I actually have a block that a guy set up for
: VW mushroom lifters with press-in brass
: bushings for the lifter holes. When I move
: out to NC and get a garage, I might mess
: around with this. The VW lifters are cheap
: and are very large diameter - like 1.3"
: or so.
