I'm just a little curious here. saw a few post about that and then remembered on my car theugh there isn't any lifters but instead the crocker rides directly on the cam and all it has is a little puck that is on the tip of the rocker. not a roller or anything like that but it seems to work.
whats the difference

 

lifters need to rotate to keep from wearing the cam and to keep the cam from wearing a groove into the bottom of the lifter

 

what about the setups thought that don't rotate? like OHC setups?

 

those aren't in 3rd gens, so why do we care?

 

cause I'm curious and WE CAN'T ALL just think about just thirdgens all the time. it's more of a why does it work one way here but one way there. I don't understand wha the difference would be so calm down man

 

Because this is a THIRD GEN F-BODY website

 

ok fine then I just bought an 82 camaro and I'm swapping in a SOHC motor that has flat rocker arms not roller style
so now I'm asking why do I need the lifters to rotated but the rocker amr doesn't have anything to rotate yet last just fine

 

For educational purposes only. This is referring to lifters found in 3rdgens.
