Product Description
Johnson ST2116LSR Short Travel Slow Leakdown Link-Bar Lifters – Set of 16
Hydraulic Roller Lifters with .058" Plunger Travel – For Listed LS and LT Engines Without Active DOD/AFM
Johnson ST2116LSR short travel slow leakdown link-bar lifters provide a race-style hydraulic roller lifter option for the listed LS and LT engine applications that are not running DOD/AFM. Made in the USA, these lifters feature .058" total plunger travel and a recommended preload of .030" ± .005". The tie-bar design replaces the factory plastic lifter tray arrangement, requiring removal of the trays during installation. Supplied as a set of 16, this Johnson lifter set equips a complete V8 engine for a compatible performance build or valvetrain overhaul.
Key Features & Benefits
- Short Travel Hydraulic Roller Design: Features .058" total plunger travel for the specified race-style valvetrain configuration. Johnson ST2116LSR lifters combine hydraulic roller operation with a short travel design for compatible LS and LT engine builds.
- Slow Leakdown Configuration: These lifters use Johnson's short travel, slow leakdown design. They are intended for the listed engine applications operating without DOD/AFM, making the engine's cylinder-deactivation configuration an essential fitment consideration.
- Link-Bar Lifter Arrangement: The lifters use tie bars in place of the factory plastic lifter tray arrangement. Remove the original plastic trays when installing this link-bar lifter set.
- Specified Preload for Installation: Recommended lifter preload is .030" ± .005", equivalent to a .025"–.035" range. Set preload to this specification during assembly to match the requirements of the short travel lifters.
- Complete Set of 16, Made in the USA: Includes 16 Johnson ST2116LSR hydraulic roller lifters for one compatible V8 engine. These USA-made lifters provide a complete set for replacing the engine's lifters together.
Notes
- For applications NOT running DOD/AFM. Engines originally equipped with cylinder deactivation must have the appropriate conversion completed.
- Factory plastic lifter trays must be removed for the tie-bar lifters.
Recommended Lifter Installation
- Inspect the lifters for any signs of damage to the lifter body or wheel.
- Verify that the rollers spin without binding.
- Wipe down the lifter body with a lint-free rag.
- Coat the outside of each lifter with engine oil. Soaking is not recommended.
- Clean the top end of the engine to prevent foreign debris from entering the lifters upon startup. Debris entering a lifter is a primary cause of failure.
- Inspect the rocker arms, pushrod ends and valve tips for excessive wear. Replace components as necessary.
- Install the lifters and set preload to .030" ± .005".
- Change the oil and filter after 50 miles to remove debris that may have been missed during assembly.
