Re: Old Jeep drivers beware!
The lifters I have installed and currently have in my 258 aren't flat
topped. They have a definite dimple in them that holds the pushrod in
place.

Re: Old Jeep drivers beware!

Re: Old Jeep drivers beware!
I'm no expert on this but but I think a better description would be flat
FACED lifters, not flat topped. I'm pretty sure that what they are
referring to is lifters that have a flat face that rides against the
cam, as opposed to the roller lifters in the pic. that Bill posted.
