GEN VI LIFTER GUARD

GEN VI LIFTER GUARD
I have a big block Gen VI tip that will provide oiling and windage improvement at no cost. When a builder uses retrofit roller lifters and no longer has a use for the hold down spider, I find it useful as a cover and shield by modifying it and adding dimples for oil to run off near the lifters. It acts like a safety shield if a pushrod breaks or bends and keeps it from falling into the camshaft. Any oil “catch” and windage may also help with the cam wear.
