what's the benefit of limited travel hyd roller lifters vs typical hyd rollers

• Add to quote

is it RPM related? lighter wieght compared to regular hyds? cam profile? valve floating issues? able to use on something like a mild solid cam profile? engine choice make a difference like SBC/SBF, BOP, etc? does it make the cam act a little different? like short travels might soften the bottom end range, but allow more up top? (sort of thinking something like what Rhoads lifters did to flat tappets) would you have to change springs or does one allow maybe stiffer springs to be used or heavier valve train components? i've seen ads that said for the limited/short travel hyd rollers to set lash 0 with 1/8 - 1/4 preload and regular at 0 with 1/4 - 1/2 preload do they require different pushrod lengths? i'd assume they would be "noisier" if you get what i am saying compared to regular, meaning something you would want or not want to hear?? what would make you need one over the other? just wondering if results are something to similar when you hear people using solids on hyd cam profiles  

I think it is too many questions in one post...I counted 13!!! Just try again with the one. What is the advantage to travel limiter Lifters?  

More RPM capability  

If both types of lifters were set to 1/4 turn pre-load, what difference would it make to the performance of both lifter types?  

You try and set a limited travel lifter with 1/4 turn, you'll probably hold the valve open.  

From talking to Tony Mamo on my build since I'm using Johnson ST2126LSR lifters, he said the short travel have a much tighter tolerance to preload and you have to measure EVERY pushrod length, sometimes you get 2-3-4 different lengths to make one complete set. You can't just do 1/8 or 1/4 and be done with them, you will destroy them that way. He told me it allows greater valve train stability and let's you get more RPM. It's about as close to a solid roller as you can get without using a actual solid cam. There's only a 5-10hp difference between the two on similar profiles. I had asked about using a LLSR cam and that's what he told me. I believe the 2110 is .050 preload +-.010 on a .210 plunger travel and the 2126 is .035 preload +-.005 on a .093 plunger. Not nearly as much "close enough" range there.  

Limited travel lifters are not hydraulic lifters. They are solid lifters with a little play, made to fool engine tech guys in hydraulic lifter classes.  

Yes No idk but prob mostly not see Springs Prob idk should could I think if your picky enough you need a different length pushrod for every lobe anyway LOL I would assume they make them or match a sets travel close enough, you could check them all yourself. I'd check the travel on a few at least before I set PRE-LOAD. As with anything there is a general way and a way to get the max.  

From Hylift Johnson Lifters . At the end it talks about an "S" lifter vs short travel . The other Johnson offers a "reduced travel " lifter I assume is what Hylift calls their "S" lifter . Tech Notes : Hydraulic Lifters “Pump-up” and hold the valves open, is a misconception. The lifter will not pump up to hold the valves open, it is actually valve float. The lifter’s function is to take up any lash in the valve train system. When a valve floats because of inadequate valve spring pressure or harmonics the Lifter’s piston will adjust on the base circle of the cam to take up this clearance. Now when the Valve spring catches up to the rest of the valve train it will want to close the valve but won’t be able too because the Lifter has extended. This will hold the valve open and will result in a loss of power. Preload: How much preload is right? The Hydraulic lifter only needs a small amount of preload. This preload is just to take up any lash in the system and then to remove any contact between the internal components of the lifter and the retaining ring. We only recommend .020” to .040” of preload on any of our lifters. Short Travel Lifters function like mechanical lifters but they are much harder on the valve train components. These were developed because the standard hydraulic lifters couldn’t handle the higher spring pressures used in performance engines. These are usually made with a spacer to reduce the piston’s travel so the amount of valve lift loss is kept to a minimum. A mechanical lifter is installed with a small amount of lash to take up thermal growth in the valve train. This lash is taken up when the lifter starts up the cam lobe. There is no pressure being translated from the valve springs through the push rod at this point. This is a smooth transition to remove the lash before the valve starts to open. With the short travel lifter these are made to have no lash initially but they end up collapsing during the opening of the valve. The difference between these two is that when the short travel lifter collapses it is while there is a significant load from the valve spring translated down the push rod. This load is usually when the valve is almost completely open where the most pressure is on the lifter. When the lifter collapses it is bottoming out with a very heavy load on the piston. This acts like a hammer hitting the lifter and will send a shock wave to the mating Camshaft lobe’s surface. This shock load is detrimental to the mating surfaces and even worst when a roller lifter is being used. Tests have shown that these short travel lifters will reduce roller bearing life by as much as 70%. Our “S” lifters are designed to handle heavier Valve spring loads without loosing valve lift or collapsing like inferior Short Travel Lifters will.

I have heard/read that one cause of lost valvetrain control in a hydraulic lifter lies in air entrained in the oil column. Oil itself is a non-compressable fluid. But air is obviously compressable. When windage whips air into the oil at higher RPM, that air gets into the lifters and they become compressable instead of hydraulically solid. A short travel lifter reduces the amount of potential compressability to a level similar to lash in a solid roller - the lash is essentially "in oil". And yeah - I was chasing tuning opportunities on an EMC entry with short travel lifters - hydraulic as required by the rules. An added 1/8 turn (+/- .010) gave me a "no start" freewheeling engine on dyno.

Here is some instructions for a line of Comp Cam short travel lifters, I wouldn't assume it's the same for all their short travel lifters types. https://www.compcams.com/amfile/file/download/file/389/product/26925/ 4. Adjusting pre-load: Turn the engine in the normal direction of rotation. Start with cylinder number one (1). When the exhaust valve begins to open, adjust the intake valve to the correct pre-load. To reach zero, take the pushrod between your finger tips and move it up and down while you tighten down the rocker arm adjusting nut. Once you feel no more vertical slack, you are at zero pre-load. Make sure the pushrod is in the lifter and the rocker arm seat when making valve adjustments. Then tighten the adjuster nut zero to 1/4 of a turn of the wrench. Next, you can move on to the exhaust valve on the same cylinder. Now, rotate the engine over again until the intake valve reaches maximum lift and is almost all the way back down. Then set the exhaust valve using the same method as the intake (zero to 1/4 of a turn). Continue adjusting the valves on each cylinder in this manner until all valves are adjusted.  

When I ran them , I noticed they were very touchy . I just barely put any preload on them . Maybe a1/16 of a turn . I also ran the Johnson ST2116SBR lifters . But they recommend .035 , give or take .010 , preload . Just under 1/2 turn on the 7/16 stud . Now running solid lifters on the hydraulic cam now . Nothing wrong with the hydraulic lifters , was chasing a noise issue and want to go solid anyways .  

The Johnson Short Travel lifters are also low/ slow bleed-down lifters (I think most of the retrofit short travel ones are also low bleed down now...) They are more expensive because they have to be MFGRed to tighter tolerances. Standard lifters end up bleeding down faster than they can be filled back up with oil with increasing loads on the plunger and less time(spring pressure / RPM). AFAIK essentially all modern hyd lifters are low bleed down now (all ls / lt lifters); why are they so much more expensive in retrofit apps? I guess “cause they can” / OEM purchasing power? Adam  

Short travel lifters have no valving inside. They don't hold oil, they don't recover lash, they don't "bleed down", they have nothing in common with a hydraulic lifter other than the name. They have a solid "piston" inside the lifter body that has a slight spring load to it and it only moves about .020". Then it becomes a solid lifter.  

S&S Lifter Travel Limiters

I figured no one would believe me, that's why I posted the description from Zipper's catalog. Is all just that simple.  

LOL, or ground flat pushrod cup from a used lifter, much cheaper, lol.  

Looks like it'd be more work to me than a washer for the used ones that I have but still a good free alternative.  

If you are talking about the HD lifters, out of curiosity what 5/8 washer has an o/d of .612 (lifter bore i/d)? If you are talking about GM lifters the ones I've been making and installing for about 20 years are .621 x .452 x .111 which gives you a snug fit so they don't move around and barely enough room to get the snap ring back in. Did allot of testing back than on circle track stuff and found those dimensions worked best. Tom  

A 5/8 O.D ARP .120 thick washer works good , you just have to true up the outside edge on a belt sander where it's punched out and is not perfectly square on the O.D surface.  

i'm sure lifters vary some, the ones i have done .120 worked fine, hey whatever works , right?

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow: The Best of Moscow!

I just got back from one week in Moscow. And, as you might have already guessed, it was a mind-boggling experience. It was not my first trip to the Russian capital. But I hardly ever got enough time to explore this sprawling city. Visiting places for business rarely leaves enough time for sightseeing. I think that if you’ve got one week in Russia, you can also consider splitting your time between its largest cities (i.e. Saint Petersburg ) to get the most out of your trip. Seven days will let you see the majority of the main sights and go beyond just scratching the surface. In this post, I’m going to share with you my idea of the perfect travel itinerary for one week in Moscow.

Moscow is perhaps both the business and cultural hub of Russia. There is a lot more to see here than just the Kremlin and Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Centuries-old churches with onion-shaped domes dotted around the city are in stark contrast with newly completed impressive skyscrapers of Moscow City dominating the skyline. I spent a lot of time thinking about my Moscow itinerary before I left. And this city lived up to all of my expectations.

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow

Day 1 – red square and the kremlin.

Metro Station: Okhotny Ryad on Red Line.

No trip to Moscow would be complete without seeing its main attraction. The Red Square is just a stone’s throw away from several metro stations. It is home to some of the most impressive architectural masterpieces in the city. The first thing you’ll probably notice after entering it and passing vendors selling weird fur hats is the fairytale-like looking Saint Basil’s Cathedral. It was built to commemorate one of the major victories of Ivan the Terrible. I once spent 20 minutes gazing at it, trying to find the perfect angle to snap it. It was easier said than done because of the hordes of locals and tourists.

As you continue strolling around Red Square, there’s no way you can miss Gum. It was widely known as the main department store during the Soviet Era. Now this large (yet historic) shopping mall is filled with expensive boutiques, pricey eateries, etc. During my trip to Moscow, I was on a tight budget. So I only took a retro-style stroll in Gum to get a rare glimpse of a place where Soviet leaders used to grocery shop and buy their stuff. In case you want some modern shopping experience, head to the Okhotny Ryad Shopping Center with stores like New Yorker, Zara, and Adidas.

Read Next: Things To Do on Socotra

To continue this Moscow itinerary, next you may want to go inside the Kremlin walls. This is the center of Russian political power and the president’s official residence. If you’re planning to pay Kremlin a visit do your best to visit Ivan the Great Bell Tower as well. Go there as early as possible to avoid crowds and get an incredible bird’s-eye view. There are a couple of museums that are available during designated visiting hours. Make sure to book your ticket online and avoid lines.

Day 2 – Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Tretyakov Gallery, and the Arbat Street

Metro Station: Kropotkinskaya on Red Line

As soon as you start creating a Moscow itinerary for your second day, you’ll discover that there are plenty of metro stations that are much closer to certain sites. Depending on your route, take a closer look at the metro map to pick the closest.

The white marble walls of Christ the Saviour Cathedral are awe-inspiring. As you approach this tallest Orthodox Christian church, you may notice the bronze sculptures, magnificent arches, and cupolas that were created to commemorate Russia’s victory against Napoleon.

How to Get a Decent Haircut in a Foreign Country

Unfortunately, the current Cathedral is a replica, since original was blown to bits in 1931 by the Soviet government. The new cathedral basically follows the original design, but they have added some new elements such as marble high reliefs.

Home to some precious collection of artworks, in Tretyakov Gallery you can find more than 150,000 of works spanning centuries of artistic endeavor. Originally a privately owned gallery, it now has become one of the largest museums in Russia. The Gallery is often considered essential to visit. But I have encountered a lot of locals who have never been there.

Famous for its souvenirs, musicians, and theaters, Arbat street is among the few in Moscow that were turned into pedestrian zones. Arbat street is usually very busy with tourists and locals alike. My local friend once called it the oldest street in Moscow dating back to 1493. It is a kilometer long walking street filled with fancy gift shops, small cozy restaurants, lots of cute cafes, and street artists. It is closed to any vehicular traffic, so you can easily stroll it with kids.

Day 3 – Moscow River Boat Ride, Poklonnaya Hill Victory Park, the Moscow City

Metro Station: Kievskaya and Park Pobedy on Dark Blue Line / Vystavochnaya on Light Blue Line

Voyaging along the Moscow River is definitely one of the best ways to catch a glimpse of the city and see the attractions from a bit different perspective. Depending on your Moscow itinerary, travel budget and the time of the year, there are various types of boats available. In the summer there is no shortage of boats, and you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Travel Itinerary for One Week in Beijing

If you find yourself in Moscow during the winter months, I’d recommend going with Radisson boat cruise. These are often more expensive (yet comfy). They offer refreshments like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and, of course, alcoholic drinks. Prices may vary but mostly depend on your food and drink selection. Find their main pier near the opulent Ukraine hotel . The hotel is one of the “Seven Sisters”, so if you’re into the charm of Stalinist architecture don’t miss a chance to stay there.

The area near Poklonnaya Hill has the closest relation to the country’s recent past. The memorial complex was completed in the mid-1990s to commemorate the Victory and WW2 casualties. Also known as the Great Patriotic War Museum, activities here include indoor attractions while the grounds around host an open-air museum with old tanks and other vehicles used on the battlefield.

How I Planned My Trip to Vietnam

The hallmark of the memorial complex and the first thing you see as you exit metro is the statue of Nike mounted to its column. This is a very impressive Obelisk with a statue of Saint George slaying the dragon at its base.

Maybe not as impressive as Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower , the skyscrapers of the Moscow City (otherwise known as Moscow International Business Center) are so drastically different from dull Soviet architecture. With 239 meters and 60 floors, the Empire Tower is the seventh highest building in the business district.

The observation deck occupies 56 floor from where you have some panoramic views of the city. I loved the view in the direction of Moscow State University and Luzhniki stadium as well to the other side with residential quarters. The entrance fee is pricey, but if you’re want to get a bird’s eye view, the skyscraper is one of the best places for doing just that.

Day 4 – VDNKh, Worker and Collective Farm Woman Monument, The Ostankino TV Tower

Metro Station: VDNKh on Orange Line

VDNKh is one of my favorite attractions in Moscow. The weird abbreviation actually stands for Russian vystavka dostizheniy narodnogo khozyaystva (Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy). With more than 200 buildings and 30 pavilions on the grounds, VDNKh serves as an open-air museum. You can easily spend a full day here since the park occupies a very large area.

Places to Visit in Barcelona That Aren’t Beaches

First, there are pavilions that used to showcase different cultures the USSR was made of. Additionally, there is a number of shopping pavilions, as well as Moskvarium (an Oceanarium) that features a variety of marine species. VDNKh is a popular venue for events and fairs. There is always something going on, so I’d recommend checking their website if you want to see some particular exhibition.

A stone’s throw away from VDNKh there is a very distinctive 25-meters high monument. Originally built in 1937 for the world fair in Paris, the hulking figures of men and women holding a hammer and a sickle represent the Soviet idea of united workers and farmers. It doesn’t take much time to see the monument, but visiting it gives some idea of the Soviet Union’s grandiose aspirations.

I have a thing for tall buildings. So to continue my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow I decided to climb the fourth highest TV tower in the world. This iconic 540m tower is a fixture of the skyline. You can see it virtually from everywhere in Moscow, and this is where you can get the best panoramic views (yep, even better than Empire skyscraper).

Parts of the floor are made of tempered glass, so it can be quite scary to exit the elevator. But trust me, as you start observing buildings and cars below, you won’t want to leave. There is only a limited number of tickets per day, so you may want to book online. Insider tip: the first tour is cheaper, you can save up to $10 if go there early.

Day 5 – A Tour To Moscow Manor Houses

Metro Station: Kolomenskoye, Tsaritsyno on Dark Green Line / Kuskovo on Purple Line

I love visiting the manor houses and palaces in Moscow. These opulent buildings were generally built to house Russian aristocratic families and monarchs. Houses tend to be rather grand affairs with impressive architecture. And, depending on the whims of the owners, some form of a landscaped garden.

During the early part of the 20th century though, many of Russia’s aristocratic families (including the family of the last emperor) ended up being killed or moving abroad . Their manor houses were nationalized. Some time later (after the fall of the USSR) these were open to the public. It means that today a great many of Moscow’s finest manor houses and palaces are open for touring.

20 Travel Tips I’ve Learned From Travelling The World

There are 20 manor houses scattered throughout the city and more than 25 in the area around. But not all of them easily accessible and exploring them often takes a lot of time. I’d recommend focusing on three most popular estates in Moscow that are some 30-minute metro ride away from Kremlin.

Sandwiched between the Moscow River and the Andropov Avenue, Kolomenskoye is a UNESCO site that became a public park in the 1920’s. Once a former royal estate, now it is one of the most tranquil parks in the city with gorgeous views. The Ascension Church, The White Column, and the grounds are a truly grand place to visit.

You could easily spend a full day here, exploring a traditional Russian village (that is, in fact, a market), picnicking by the river, enjoying the Eastern Orthodox church architecture, hiking the grounds as well as and wandering the park and gardens with wildflower meadows, apple orchards, and birch and maple groves. The estate museum showcases Russian nature at its finest year-round.

12 Stunning National Parks and Regional Parks In France

If my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow was a family tree, Tsaritsyno Park would probably be the crazy uncle that no-one talks about. It’s a large park in the south of the city of mind-boggling proportions, unbelievable in so many ways, and yet most travelers have never heard of it.

The palace was supposed to be a summer home for Empress Catherine the Great. But since the construction didn’t meet with her approval the palace was abandoned. Since the early 1990’s the palace, the pond, and the grounds have been undergoing renovations. The entire complex is now looking brighter and more elaborately decorated than at possibly any other time during its history. Like most parks in Moscow, you can visit Tsaritsyno free of charge, but there is a small fee if you want to visit the palace.

How To Stop Procrastinating When Trip Planning

Last, but by no means least on my Moscow itinerary is Kuskovo Park . This is definitely an off-the-beaten-path place. While it is not easily accessible, you will be rewarded with a lack of crowds. This 18th-century summer country house of the Sheremetev family was one of the first summer country estates of the Russian nobility. And when you visit you’ll quickly realize why locals love this park.

Like many other estates, Kuskovo has just been renovated. So there are lovely French formal garden, a grotto, and the Dutch house to explore. Make sure to plan your itinerary well because the estate is some way from a metro station.

Day 6 – Explore the Golden Ring

Creating the Moscow itinerary may keep you busy for days with the seemingly endless amount of things to do. Visiting the so-called Golden Ring is like stepping back in time. Golden Ring is a “theme route” devised by promotion-minded journalist and writer Yuri Bychkov.

Having started in Moscow the route will take you through a number of historical cities. It now includes Suzdal, Vladimir, Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Sergiev Posad. All these awe-inspiring towns have their own smaller kremlins and feature dramatic churches with onion-shaped domes, tranquil residential areas, and other architectural landmarks.

I only visited two out of eight cities included on the route. It is a no-brainer that Sergiev Posad is the nearest and the easiest city to see on a day trip from Moscow. That being said, you can explore its main attractions in just one day. Located some 70 km north-east of the Russian capital, this tiny and overlooked town is home to Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, UNESCO Site.

Sergiev Posad is often described as being at the heart of Russian spiritual life. So it is uncommon to see the crowds of Russian pilgrims showing a deep reverence for their religion. If you’re traveling independently and using public transport, you can reach Sergiev Posad by bus (departs from VDNKh) or by suburban commuter train from Yaroslavskaya Railway Station (Bahnhof). It takes about one and a half hours to reach the town.

Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius is a great place to get a glimpse of filling and warming Russian lunch, specifically at the “ Gostevaya Izba ” restaurant. Try the duck breast, hearty potato and vegetables, and the awesome Napoleon cake.

Day 7 – Gorky Park, Izmailovo Kremlin, Patriarch’s Ponds

Metro Station: Park Kultury or Oktyabrskaya on Circle Line / Partizanskaya on Dark Blue Line / Pushkinskaya on Dark Green Line

Gorky Park is in the heart of Moscow. It offers many different types of outdoor activities, such as dancing, cycling, skateboarding, walking, jogging, and anything else you can do in a park. Named after Maxim Gorky, this sprawling and lovely park is where locals go on a picnic, relax and enjoy free yoga classes. It’s a popular place to bike around, and there is a Muzeon Art Park not far from here. A dynamic location with a younger vibe. There is also a pier, so you can take a cruise along the river too.

How to Save Money While Traveling in Europe

The Kremlin in Izmailovo is by no means like the one you can find near the Red Square. Originally built for decorative purposes, it now features the Vernissage flea market and a number of frequent fairs, exhibitions, and conferences. Every weekend, there’s a giant flea market in Izmailovo, where dozens of stalls sell Soviet propaganda crap, Russian nesting dolls, vinyl records, jewelry and just about any object you can imagine. Go early in the morning if you want to beat the crowds.

All the Bulgakov’s fans should pay a visit to Patriarch’s Ponds (yup, that is plural). With a lovely small city park and the only one (!) pond in the middle, the location is where the opening scene of Bulgakov’s novel Master and Margarita was set. The novel is centered around a visit by Devil to the atheistic Soviet Union is considered by many critics to be one of the best novels of the 20th century. I spent great two hours strolling the nearby streets and having lunch in the hipster cafe.

Conclusion and Recommendations

To conclude, Moscow is a safe city to visit. I have never had a problem with getting around and most locals are really friendly once they know you’re a foreigner. Moscow has undergone some serious reconstruction over the last few years. So you can expect some places to be completely different. I hope my one week Moscow itinerary was helpful! If you have less time, say 4 days or 5 days, I would cut out day 6 and day 7. You could save the Golden Ring for a separate trip entirely as there’s lots to see!

Never been to Moscow or Russia but my family has. Many great spots and a lot of culture. Your itinerary sounds fantastic and covers a lot despite it is only a short period of time.

What was their favourite thing about Russia?

Gladys Parker

I know very little about Moscow or Russia for the\at matter. I do know I would have to see the Red Square and all of its exquisite architectural masterpieces. Also the CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE SAVIOUR. Thanks for shedding some light on visiting Moscow.

Thanks for swinging by! The Red Square is a great starting point, but there way too many places and things to discover aside from it!

Ruthy @ Percolate Kitchen

You are making me so jealous!! I’ve always wanted to see Russia.

Moscow is in my bucket list, I don’t know when I can visit there, your post is really useful. As a culture rich place we need to spend at least week.

Reesa Lewandowski

What beautiful moments! I always wish I had the personality to travel more like this!

Perfect itinerary for spending a week in Moscow! So many places to visit and it looks like you had a wonderful time. I would love to climb that tower. The views I am sure must have been amazing!

I was lucky enough to see the skyline of Moscow from this TV Tower and it is definitely mind-blowing.

Chelsea Pearl

Moscow is definitely up there on my travel bucket list. So much history and iconic architecture!

Thumbs up! 🙂

OMG I dream to visit Moscow someday! Hope the visa processing would be okay (and become more affordable) so I could pursue my dream trip!

Yup, visa processing is the major downside! Agree! Time and the money consuming process…
