**glhs727** · **T-3 lifters**

We have confirmation that the lifters should be here from Germany in 5-6 weeks.
Unfortuneatly because of the exchange rate, and materials costs, the price of lifters has gone up almost 25%. We have had to change our retail price to $359 a set or $25 each. At this point, we may only order lifters once a year, or maybe not order at all. So if you need lifters, please go on line and order them asap. We have 15 sets coming in, and 5 are already spoken for.
Thanks,
Cindy

Still a good deal @ $359 a set and $25 a pop. Don't really need any right now, may put them in my Spirit R/T later. Just tapped out right now. I hope you don't quit carrying them!

how does the pre-order work? Do I have to pay in full now?

**glhs727** · 12-07-2005, 10:32 AM

Yes, preorders must paid in full up front. Then you will be guaranteed a set, and will have your's shipped first.
Thanks,
Cindy

can you make a thread in the venders section with a list of how many are left. Money is tight right now so i'd rather pay as late as possible but if I see 12 are sold I'll have to fork it over

Are these lifters the stock ones or the upgraded ones that grant racing was making?

These are the upgraded ones. Made by INA (the OEM maker of a lot of the lotus head parts) and they are the same as what Mark Grant of Grantracing is/was selling.
Thanks,

what does this mean, upgraded?? whats the advantages of these upgraded ones

**glhs727** · 12-15-2005, 09:33 PM

well, I'm not sure upgraded is the correct term. They are basically the same but better and they don't use that plastic peice that holds the tip, that eventally cracks and you lose all the little tips in your motor. If you can take a close look at the picture on the website, you will see what I mean.
later,

ok jus wasnt sure if they were any diff or not. my order has been in for about a week, im waiting to hear when they come in

Since were on the topic of lifters, i was wondering if you can use a lifter without the white plastic ring piece on it?

**The Pope** · 12-20-2005, 02:33 AM

T3 valve train life. The plastic ring falls off, the stock lifter wares and starts slapping. Lifter dies and beats the follower and then the cam. Buy the new lifters and things don't self destruct. Like a Cometic head gasket and head studs these are a must buy unless you have lots of cash to throw at your T3. Just better to get these now and save on the destruction, T3 valve train is like a bomb waiting to go off lol.

Jagged Antler · 12-20-2005, 01:38 PM

So if I put some lifters in without the plastic rings on in my car, what will it do to the head? Can I get away with putting used ones back in?

Tudds · 12-25-2005, 11:39 AM

Any updates? how many sets are sold? Should be here in 2-3 weeks now?

**glhs727** · 12-25-2005, 12:58 PM

No new updates. Still expecting them in January. But may be towards the end of the month since the holidays may have added some time to delivery. We have 7 sets presold, only 8 sets left, but I might keep 2 sets for myself.
Later,
Cindy
