Chevy V8 Hydraulic Lifters (16)

The Edelbrock Chevy V8 Hydraulic Lifters (16) set delivers the reliable valve train performance that modern engine builders and restoration enthusiasts demand when rebuilding or upgrading classic and contemporary small-block Chevrolet powerplants. These flat tappet hydraulic lifters are engineered to maintain precise valve timing and lift across a wide RPM range, making them essential components for any serious V8 engine refresh. Whether you're assembling a high-mileage block, upgrading from worn factory lifters, or completing a ground-up restoration, this 16-piece set provides everything needed for a complete lifter replacement in dual four-barrel or fuel-injected Chevy V8 applications.

Hydraulic flat tappet lifters operate by using engine oil pressure to maintain zero lash between the lifter and camshaft lobe, eliminating the need for manual adjustment while protecting valve train components from wear and shock loading. The 0.842-inch outer diameter (OD) design is the industry standard for Chevrolet V8 and compatible GM V6 applications, ensuring drop-in fitment in standard small-block and big-block cylinders without modification. Edelbrock's proven manufacturing process ensures consistent bore tolerances, durable internal check ball construction, and optimized plunger travel—critical factors that determine how well your lifters respond to aggressive cam profiles and extended high-RPM operation without pump-up or misfire.

Chevy V8 owners preparing for engine rebuilds, cam upgrades, or multi-thousand-mile overhauls benefit most from replacing lifters as a preventive measure, since worn units accelerate camshaft lobe wear and increase failure risk during break-in. This complete 16-piece set eliminates the need to source lifters individually and ensures matched performance across all cylinders. Compatible with classic small-block variants (262, 267, 283, 305, 327, 350, 400) and select big-block engines running conventional flat tappet cam profiles, these lifters integrate seamlessly with Edelbrock cam kits, intake manifolds, and cylinder head packages commonly selected for street and performance builds. Installation requires basic mechanical skill and adherence to proper oil priming procedures to ensure longevity and silent, stable valve train operation.
