JIMS, PowerGlide hydraulic stand. +.005" o.s.

The Jims Powerglide™ tappets offer superior hydraulic performance compared with OEM style equipment, with a forged steel body, hand-honed hydraulic cavity and an oil-fed axle. To get full power, you must have zero valve lash and eliminate collapse of the hydraulic unit, as occurs in the OEM unit, also known as 'shock absorber syndrome'. Failing to keep the valve open through its full travel results in power loss. The Jims Powerglide™ tappets come as close as possible to a solid tappet, yet can still compensate for thermal expansion. They also work well with solid style camshafts. Weight: 149 grams each. Fits as an oversized improved replacement for OEM 18523-86A.
Note: The standard size is .8425" outside diameter.
