The COMP Cams 96838B-16 Sportsman Solid Roller Lifter Set is engineered as a premium, lightweight upgrade for Ford 289-351W small block engines. These lifters feature a bronze bushing axle/wheel design that provides exceptional durability and performance for high-performance street and sportsman racing applications.

Advanced Engineering Features:

• Bronze bushing axle/wheel configuration for enhanced wear resistance and reliability
• Two pressurized EDM oil feeds to the axle plus edge orifice feed to the wheel for superior lubrication
• Shallow oil band design increases structural strength and rigidity compared to competitor lifters
• Skirted wheel body strengthens lifter ears and maximizes contact area with lifter bore for improved stability
• Staked axles eliminate clips and provide permanent axle retention to prevent ear spreading
• Captured link bar design with tapered and slotted towers reduces weight while improving aesthetics
• Tall body design works in both standard and .300" tall lifter bores for increased strength and reduced bore wear

Construction and Materials:

• Manufactured from 8620 premium steel for maximum strength and wear resistance
• Internal machining reduces overall weight without compromising structural integrity
• Precision-engineered for Ford 289, 302, and 351 Windsor small block engines

This 16-lifter set delivers professional-grade performance at a value price point, bridging the gap between entry-level and elite race lifters. The bronze bushing design is particularly well-suited for engines with aggressive cam profiles and high spring pressures.
