Crane 13532-16 lifters in Gen 6 blocks
Hi guys.
Anybody know if the Crane lifters with the link bars will clear the taller lifter bores of the Gen 6 motors? I think it will, just not 100% sure.
Thanks!

Keep it simple!
No they are not the best thing to use in this engine.
Just buy the GM high performance Gen 6 hydraulic roller lifters, part #12371056 set of 16. They are the most reliable, best machined medium dollar set available.
I keep saying this year after year, outside of the expensive Morel hydraulic roller lifters for GM big blocks, I don't think any aftermarket hydraulic roller lifter is as good or reliable as the GM high performance part.

Are these the same as the stock roller lifters that come with the motor or are they a specific HP part?
Reason I ask is will they tolerate a higher lift cam (are they longer) than the stock ones? I read somewhere that the stock rollers are only good for .550" lift or so. Is this true?
Thanks!

Actually running a 509 with 234/236 .600/.610. The stock GM lifters fit (dont drop below the dogbone, sit the same as stock cams), but I have 180/450 spring pressure now. I know the GM lifters dont like really anymore than 150 on the seat as they begin to tick.
