Default Rhodes lifters

Rhodes has come out with some new lifters for roller cams that are supposed to be quieter. Has anyone tried these yet? I ask because I have a bad lifter and while I have things apart....... Well I think you all know the rest.

I'm not sure how new "new" is I'm running them, my engine was built December of last year. I really never noticed them being loud... with 60 # injectors and the supercharger in this thing... I wouldn't be able to notice. But the performance is great...

I decided to take the plunge after my post and a phone call to Rhodes - I ordered a set. I should have them in a couple days. Have you had any issues with the knock sensor? That was my biggest concern. Like you I have injector noise. I have a 84 which has two throttle bodies and the injectors are loud. My thinking is they can not be any louder than those injectors. I guess I am ready to find out.

No issues with my knock sensors... In mycase I'm using a LT$ knock module, but I see no issues at all..

Do you know what they are adjusted at? I spoke with Rhodes this afternoon and they said to start at 0.020.

That sounds right...

I love these things...!

They also have a QA on the site as well on the adjustments...
