Wood Performance - 'Platinum' Series M-8 and Twin Cam Lifters
Owned and operated by two-time NHRA National Record Holder Bobby Wood, Cropwell, Alabama based Wood Performance makes the proud boast that it is the leader in high performance dyno-tested carbs (the popular "King Carburetors") and the innovator of the Andrews Products manufactured, Wood Performance specification 'Knight Prowler' short duration, high lift Street Cams for H-D performance engines.
The latest addition to the Wood Performance portfolio of 'Competition Smoking' performance components are the new patent pending 'Platinum' series directional lifters for M-8 and Twin Cam applications using the Knight Prowler specifications (WADL-9012).
Featuring dual float hydro dynamic (instead of static drag) bearings, they deliver a claimed 300 percent increase in active bearing surface and a 400 percent increase in yield strength compared to the more commonly used needle, brass or bronze bushings.
Wood Performance has partnered with Hylift Johnson, a division of Topline Automotive Engineering Inc. to produce these multi-lift high performance lifters.
Manufactured from proprietary heat-treated material, the unique Wood Performance lifter design features direct shot EDM technology oil channels with dual oil ports to feed the dual floating bearing and .080 of additional lifter travel.
These 'Platinum' series lifters have been rigorously road and dyna tested for 40+ hours at 3,000+ RPMs for over 3.6 million lifter cycles. They have been tested and are rated at 800 lb of open valve spring pressure (over 2.9 million lbs total testing) and post-test inspected to reveal zero wear.
