AMC V8 DLC Hyd Lifter Set .904in Dia.

The AMC V8 DLC Hyd Lifter Set .904in Dia from Comp Cams is engineered for builders and restorers working on classic American Motors V8 engines requiring precision hydraulic lifter replacement or upgrade. These lifters address the core challenge of maintaining proper valve train geometry and oil flow in vintage powerplants where worn or damaged lifters compromise compression, idle quality, and overall engine reliability. Whether you're rebuilding a Javelin, Hornet, or AMX engine, this lifter set ensures your pushrod valvetrain operates with the tight tolerances modern performance demands.

Comp Cams' DLC-coated hydraulic lifters feature a .904-inch diameter bore designed specifically for AMC V8 block specifications, delivering superior wear resistance and extended service life compared to stock lifters. The DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating reduces friction at the lifter face and pushrod seat, critical for minimizing parasitic losses and maintaining consistent valve timing across the RPM range. Hydraulic operation automatically compensates for thermal expansion and valve train wear, eliminating the need for periodic valve lash adjustments while protecting against valve float and lifter noise that plague aging engines.

Restoration enthusiasts and street machine builders benefit most from this complete lifter set, which simplifies full-engine rebuilds by providing matched components ready for installation. This set is compatible with factory AMC V8 cylinder heads and blocks using standard .904-inch lifter bores; verify your engine's original lifter diameter before ordering, as some variants may differ. The 3.9-pound package contains everything needed for a complete valve train refresh, reducing downtime and ensuring repeatable results whether you're pursuing show-quality restoration or reliable daily-driver performance.
