This sounds worth looking into. I wonder if the Boeing Surplus store here has some titanium rounds for sale ... although shipping would probably negate any savings that way.
Hollowing the stock lifters sound like a good idea to get a few extra revs without having to fit heavier valve springs.

Has any lister made up light weight lifters by modding the stock items and making 1 lightweight from 2 by hollowing the body?
I am looking at having some titanium lifters made up to suit using a hollow stem with the cam contact surface from a standard lifter wire cut to a thin button and fitted as an interference fit in the titanium cap?
The titanium bar costs $700/metre plus GST so each 55mm length $42.35 for material plus machining cost. If youve ever felt the weight of an A series lifter you will know why this is a good mod.
Any comments or interest?
