Designed for the most aggressive cam profiles
Engineered to be a simplified version of our Cartridge Lifter, the Jesel Roller Guided Lifter provides the engine builder with the luxury of using the largest diameter roller in applications with bushing size limitations. With a conventional style lifter, the roller diameter is limited to fit within the size of the lifter body as opposed to the Roller Guided Lifter which uses a roller larger in diameter than the lifter body. For example, the largest roller we can physically fit in our .937” Keyway or Tie-Bar lifters is .850” diameter vs. a .975” diameter roller used in the Roller Guided body.
There are several advantages to using a larger diameter roller. As the diameter of the roller increases, the cross section of the roller also increases, which makes for a stronger roller. Larger diameter rollers rotate slower which increases needle bearing and axle life adding to lifter longevity. And, due to reductions in pressure angle against the cam lobe, a more aggressive cam profile can be used.
Jesel Roller Guided Lifters require a unique bronze bushing with an internally milled channel in which the roller travels. Unlike our Keyway Bushings, these bushings do not require special tooling and can be easily pressed into the block and finish honed to size.
