Cyboman,if you want to experiment a bit on this stuff, Joe Schubeck in Las Vegas has some 'roller' lifters that use NO needle bearings or roller axles at all. Instead, Joe uses direct pressure feed of oil to proprietary carbide wheels that run on an oil film in a carefully designed cavity. The original use was Top Fuel, where roller lifters typically last one run (if you're lucky) before the bearings shatter and the needles then take out the cam drive. He also has rocker arms that use the same proprietary material on the tip and claims friction and wear is virtually non-existent, even with the locomotive-valve springs used in Top Fuel engines. Joe is a well-respected innovater and engine builder. POCA visited his shop during the recent Fun Rally. He says he can make these for any engine. Info at www.schubeckracing.com
