Performance Lifters Do not under estimate the importance of your lifters. TA 1405 series lifters use the original GM type valving and have a hardened face to prevent wear. We recommend you use our TA Hydraulic lifters for any hydraulic cam combination. TA Hydraulic lifters can rev to 6500 RPM and are designed to maintain precise valve timing under all operating conditions. Part No TA 1405 incorporates a constant orifice metering ball check valve that provides precise oil flow to Buick shaft mounted rockers via the hollow pushrods. Part Nos. TA 1405 350, 455 `70 later ............................... 79.00 TA 1405J 350, 455 `70 later (Johnson lifter)........ 85.00 TA 1406 ALL V8 1956-1969 ............................... $120.00 TA V1405 231, 252 V6 ......................................... 59.95 TA V1406 ALL V6 1960-1969................................ 90.00 TA Solid lifters are recommended for competition engines reaching 7000+ RPM. These lifters must be used in conjunction with TA Adjustable pushrods or TA Adjustable Roller Rockers. Part No. TA 1410 350, 455 `70 later ....................... $106.00 TA 1410B 350, 455 `70 later, bottom oil hole for additional cam lobe oiling ........ $219.00 Rhoads lifters are an ideal lifter for the Buick engine where rough idle, low fuel economy and poor driveability are the results of a larger cam. Rhoads lifters give the illusion of running two different cams at the same time. The lifters bleed down at low speeds through an oil orifice to make the cam act smaller than it is. Then at higher RPMs the lifter expands to let the cam be its actual size.

B TA 1405 VALVE TRAIN ACCESSORIES 480-922-6807 Order and Tech Line www.TAPERFORMANCE.com TA Performance Products, Inc. 58 A D D. -- Prior to 1970 Buick oiled their rockers via integral passages on the cylinder block and cylinder heads. Oil was delivered through these passages direct into the rocker shafts. The oil was then distributed to each rocker by a feed hole in the shaft at each rocker position. -- 1970 and later Buicks oiled the valve train in the more conventional manner: up through the pushrods. -- In order to use TA 1405, TA 1410 or TA 1415 lifters in pre 1970 engines a few simple changes are necessary. Other than changing the lifter to the later model you will also need to use a hollow pushrod (`70 and later) and `70 and later rocker assemblies. If you would like to retain the earlier style rocker assembly; TA offers Hybrid adjustable pushrods that incorporate the smaller radius tip at the lifter and the larger radius tip at the rocker. You will also need to block the oil feed passage that delivered oil to the rocker shafts. Block this passage in the head itself or in the cylinder block. Ask a TA technician about additional information on this popular upgrade. C. C ROLLER LIFTERS Unlike transplanted Chevy type lifters, TA Roller Lifters are specifically designed for the Buick engines. These solid roller lifters have the necessary shrouding to eliminate oil hemorrhage from the oil galley at full lift. TA 1413 is for use with any Stage 1, 2 or 3 roller cam combination. TA 1414 is for use with Stage 4 heads, these lifters incorporate a .200 offset for the intake valve. TA 1104 Lifter Bore Girdle is highly recommended with the use of any roller camshaft big block.
