Kelford Hydraulic Roller Lifter Chevrolet | GMC 1997-2013 - HT2148-16
Upgrade your LS-series V8 engine with this premium hydraulic roller lifter set. The HT2148-16 includes 16 lifters — one for each cylinder — designed specifically for GM/LS V8 applications. With a precise 0.842-inch outside diameter, these lifters offer a direct fit for stock and performance camshaft retrofits. Built for durability and smooth operation, the hydraulic roller design automatically maintains zero valve-lash using engine oil pressure, eliminating the need for manual adjustments while reducing valvetrain noise and wear. Ideal for both street-performance and upgraded applications, this kit ensures reliable, efficient valve actuation and smooth engine operation even under demanding conditions. When replacing or upgrading to a performance camshaft, using a complete lifter set like HT2148-16 helps guarantee consistent performance across all cylinders, extending both cam and lifter lifespan.


Features:
  • Automatic lash adjustment - the lifters use engine oil pressure to self-adjust valve clearance, so manual valve adjustments are not needed. 
  • Roller-type cam contact - a roller at the lifter base rolls on the cam lobe instead of sliding, reducing friction and wear. 
  • Quieter and smoother operation - hydraulic rollers help eliminate tappet “ticking” and reduce valvetrain noise compared with mechanical lifters. 
  • Better durability and lower maintenance - the design reduces stress on cam, lifter and valve-train components, improving longevity under regular driving conditions. 
  • Supports aggressive cam profiles & improved efficiency - less friction and smoother valve action allows for stronger cam lobes and more efficient engine breathing.

  • Chevrolet Corvette C5 1997-2004
