Guys I need some clarification. On the opening page of this sight this morning there is a section of TERMS and TERMINOLOGY. Under the lifter discription it compares the name LIFTER to RockerArms. I am probably wrong but I have always compared the term of "Cam followers" to lifters. As in automotive style of hydraulic lifters. They run on the cam and push up the push rods that open the valves. What do ya'll think? I sure don't want to be calling something the wrong name. Us Texans are always accused of doing that.

The term lifter is a holdover from the flathead days when the lifter rode the cam lobe and was directly under the valve which it literally lifted out of its seat.

Well, on a flat head engine there are no rockers, so you set the lash at the lifters. Some overhead cam engines the cam followers are the rockers too. Gets cornfusing.
