Working on my 289 project, I came across an oddball thing I can't seem to find an answer searching the threads. I bought the engine disassembled, and we, the machine shop and I, have been going through the components to see what is what.
in looking at the solid lifters, they have no hole in them. The shop manual says there is a hole for oil to pass, and both pictures and illustrations in the manual show a hole near the base of the lifter.
the lifters measure 2 inch tall, outside diameter of .905 and I.d of .705.
this is a 7e truck engine out of a '59 half/ton. I don!t think there's anything special about it.
has anybody seen this before or does it fall in the "don't worry about it" category?
thanks in advance.
