Roller Lifter Retainer Modifications #DarkMatterPikachu #FairmontProject

While doing a pre assembly on my engine, #DarkMatterPikachu, we ran into some fitment issues with the lifter retainers. The reason for this is because of the aftermarket block I used. That’s linked below in case you’re curious.

We decided to so some modifications to the retainers instead of the block, mainly because it was the easier way to go.

This is the type of thing you often run into with custom work like this. So if you want to go fast, be prepared to work for it.

Thanks again to Justin Frische for his help in this video.
