I
found this out with the help from the board
so I am returning the favor by making this
page. Total cost of conversion is
$220 (retail price from dealer) if
checked and installed yourself. The Buckets
cost $13.75/each from the dealer. Mine only
took a day to get.
The stock bucket weighs 1.6 oz. & the
MRS(MR Spyder) weighs 1.03 oz. That is a
weight savings of 35.5%.
When high lift cams are used with stock(2nd
gen) lifters it has caused the shims that
are used for adjusting cam/lifter clearance
to fly out. This eliminates that by eliminating
the shim all together. That lightens the
valve train weight and allows higher RPM
limits.
Below is a MRS Bucket on the left and a
stock 2nd Gen bucket on the right. The MRS
bucket eliminates the shim. You have to
buy the bucket in different thicknesses
to set your clearance.
