Yeah I thought of that aswell. But there is not a lot of room for it. I mentioned this on the same thread I opened in turbobricks aswell. I guess you could fit wider bottom lifters with some creativaty: you'd have to fit them 'from below' before placing the cam. It would be a possibility, although the weight factor would might be a problem. It would certainly reduce wear on the cam. Do you say you know/seen of some Swedes who creates mushroom lifters on the B18/20?? That would be interesting.

But there is actually no real benefit of using mushroom lifters as aposed to rollers. The cam profile would be completely different to get the same valve actions but I dont see any advantage other then that. It would absolutely be an enormous improvement compared to the stock setup.
EDIT: Actuall, when I think of it, the mushroom lifters will have FAR less side load then the roller type. Perhaps that would be an even 'better' option.
