Back when the street dominator was a single plane
Whats this solid lifter cam shaft?
This is the lifter valley of an engine
You see those steel rods?
At the bottom, they fit inside of these cylindrical objects that sit through bores in the casting
Those are the lifters
The lifters ride on this precision ground "stick" called a camshaft
This controls how far and for how long the valves open
Most vehicles today and many even back in the 60s had a hydraulic lifter. Oil pressure "pumps it up" and this compensates for any tolerance stacking or wear in the valvetrain, making it maintenance free. The downside is they don't typically perform well at high RPM
A solid lifter will not collapse, you don't have to worry about check valves failing, lifters having issues pumping up, etc.
A push rod V8.
I prefer twin cam I4’s but that’s just me. I have respect for the V8.
Different strokes for different folks, eh?
Yep.
One of my buddies swapped in a 4A-GE? I think it is, into an AE86
Some 20 valve 4-cylinder from Japan
20 valve? The 4A-GE is usually 16 valve...
That can only mean one thing...
And the AE-86 is getting very rare and most already have 4A-GE’s in them.
From my understanding he imported the engine direct from Japan
boeing 747
The secret engine from INITIAL-D was a 20 valve version of the 4A-GE... I didn’t know they actually existed...
so it’s not a boeing 747 engine
No it’s a Ford small block 302
Bugatti Type 35 or Cadillac Model Thirty
Just got a 2007 BMW 530i. Not sure if it was a smart choice.
3 wheeled vehicles ....
