Re: Rhoades Lifters - Questions

[Jimmy Peavy <peaver63@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have to have adjustable  rockers to use them.
They were the rage about 23 yrs ago, but I'm not sure there is a clear 
advantage by installing them.
I ran a set in a 360 with adjustable rockers, and it ran very well
I just don't know that  it wouldn't have run just as well with 
conventional lifters.
Since I never installed conventional lifters in that motor, I'll never 
know for sure.
It's easy enough to install a set, but without adjustable lifters, it's 
not worth considering.
