Non-Hemi lifter

Know what happens to a 454 when you’re in cruise and it decides to shift into second and hold 4500 rpm?

Guess that’s going to get pulled apart.












My back does not like hanging over the dog house for hours on end. But that was much easier than a Hemi or Pentastar lifter. No damage to the cam either.

Wonder how many miles the pushrod would have made it before that ridge wore through?

Airdrie to Banff and back. 304kms using 81.4L. $101.71. 26.8L/100kms. Quiet and smooth as a 454 should be.

The trucks and trailers I’ve had got the same mileage.
