lifter on new ss kit

[Rye Miles #13621]

The bottom one is the new lifter from Pioneer gun works. Why is it a bit longer than the original?

Short stroke maybe?

Right,  but the bottom one is from the short stroke and it’s longer.

Longer would make shorter lever travel..

Okay thanks!!

They are made to be cut to fit your action when the kit is installed. I've had to cut everyone that I've done since he first started making them. One size doesn't fit all.

I’ve never fully understood how short stroke kits work, but it makes sense that if one side of a lever is shortened the other side has to be longer to accomplish the same things.

A friend of mine is doing this, I was just curious but not enough to actually call Pioneer. Thanks anyway!

Anybody else think this post was going to be about small block Chevy heads, or just me? Rye is tricky like that.
