Joe Schubeck's ompositie lifters

This last weekend Jake Raby posted GOOD THINGS about these lifters on the CLF - some hard street miles and some racing runs and the lifters and camshaft look like new. The Schubeck lifters cost $400 for a set of eight, but if you're going to build a quality performance engine they are well worth the money.

Thats odd George, seems thats the first thing I have ever done right.......

That was the facts, and now he is making them for TIV engines.Theres a new option for any engine I build.

I Love mine, engines is steel sleeved and going back togetehr tonite!

Jake, you do a lot of things right. I sent my new TF-1 aluminu case to Steve Hollingsworth to have the lifter bores bushed with silicon-bronze, mainly because I want to see what kind of mileage I can get with the 2,387 before it needs anything other than a valve job - it's using a modified 86b with 1.3 rockers and dual springs and a 7,000 RPM redline so lifter bore wear probably wouldn't have been much of an issue, but you never know. I've also heard that the Schubeck lifters can be hard on stock lifter bores, but can't imagine why that would be true.

They are hard on lifter bores unless you sleeve them... I have been sleeving almost every TI engine I do, as I have found rthat to be a weak link, I do this with ceramic and standard lifters..

My case was WIPED OUT completely, if I would have put a few more 8,500RPM passes on it, she would have brokena bore or a lifter, one was worn almost .040!! Doing the sleeves is such a bitch, I hate it, but gotta do what ya gotta do..

Interesting thing about these lifters in my new engine - with .000" to .0005" clearance, chrome-moly pushrods, and 1.3 to 1 Pauter roller rocker arms the valve noise was VERY QUIET.

Yes, mine set at zero lash are quiet as a mouse.
