SOLID LIFTER VALVE TRAIN 944 / 944T 8v
Lindsey Racing is now offering a complete and affordable solid lifter package for the 944 Turbo.
With approximately 60 Solid Lifter conversions behind us,
it has proven to be an area of the engine that our customers are very interested in upgrading. Moving away from the heavy, problematic, and cam profile limiting hydraulic lifters was our original goal. Having 4-1/2 years experience (today is 03-16-09) we feel that we have the system down pat, especially with the introduction of our NEW lash caps for adjusting valve clearance and our recently introduced metal camshaft tower gasket.
We can do the complete conversion for you or provide you
the components to have your engine machine shop do the work for you.
"TOTAL" SOLID LIFTER CONVERSION PACKAGE INCLUDES:
- 8 Custom Solid Lifters
- 8 Custom Lash Caps
- Cam Tower Machining for Port Plugs
- 8 Port Plugs & Seals
- Solid Cam ID Plate
- Rubber Coated Steel Cam Tower Gasket
- Tip Valve Height to Exacting Spec.
- Bench Assembled & Lash Set to Spec.
The "TOTAL" Solid Lifter Conversion requires the customer
to send their cylinder head and cam box to us. When doing a solid
lifter conversion, it's very important that the height of the
valve tips above the top of the cylinder head are set to a specific
height. So part of the TOTAL conversion includes us doing that work
to your cylinder head. If you need some cylinder head work done
at the same time, such as our Stage 1 through 5 offerings, it's
the perfect time to do it.
Once the valves are tipped, and the cam box has the access port
plug holes machined, we do a complete assembly of the
head, lifter, lash caps and new cam. After assembly, we do a cold lash check and verify the dimensions. We then determine if any of the lash caps need to be thicker or thinner to achieve the perfect lash. The
assembly will be torn down, lash caps swapped if necessary, and everything re-assembled. We will do this as many times as
necessary until we get the exact lash we are looking for.
This allows the customer to simply assemble the head and cam box on their engine knowing as long as they put all the pieces in the correct location as identified by us, they can be insured that
everything has the proper clearances.
This TOTAL package is priced at $1150.00. This DOES NOT include a
camshaft. We can use your stock cam, or provide you a solid grind
cam. We have 6 profiles in stock and can grind something custom tailored
to your specs if required.
You cannot purchase the TOTAL package through the shopping cart since you're
sending us your cores to modify, or purchasing cores from us. Contact your
Lindsey Racing representative for more information.
Do it yourself?
For those who have a machine shop available to them with the capabilities
to set the valve tip height, you can purchase the required parts and do it
yourself. You may be required to purchase additional lash caps once you
do your first bench assembly and test the lash, or grind the provided lash caps to complete the job. Not knowing whether you're going to need thinner or
thicker caps prevents us from knowing up front.
SOLID LIFTER KIT INCLUDES (Parts Only):
- 8 Custom Solid Lifters
