Richard Iskendarian, President of ISKY Racing Cams, showed off their new revolutionary EZ-Roll bearing option, exclusively for ISKY RED-ZONE Roller Lifters. EZ-Roll “needle-free” roller bearings solve the age old dilemma of needle bearing overload. Although needle roller bearings perform well in light to moderately heavy load applications, the often extreme loading demands of “all out” drag & pro-street applications have long required a better performing alternative.
ISKY‘s solution: proprietary solid bearing EZ-Roll Bearing. This new bearing has been Spintron and field test proven over the past 3 years. Their advanced needle-free design and greater surface area to load distribution footprint deliver a solid 350% higher load rating. Richard said, “With our proprietary bearing, these last 2-3 times longer than a needle bearing in the same application.” For high-end applications, EZ-Roll bearings are available in a .937 keyway roller lifter, eliminating the tie-bar for the pair of lifters. The new EZ-Roll bearing option is available in your choice of two endurance grades to suit your exact requirements:
• Tough wearing Epsilon-Z Solid Bearing Raceway: a high-tech/low friction alternative to needle-roller bearings. Recommended for normally aspirated .842” dia. Red-Zone Roller Lifters that see a maximum of 850 lbs. valve open spring force.
• Upgraded Epsilon-ZX Solid Bearing Raceway: a super low friction, high-tech alternative to needles. Ideal for extreme loading environments where 900-1300 lbs. valve open spring force is employed, such as with turbo-supercharged/nitrous and all out normally aspirated applications. Required for .904” & .937” dia. lifters and recommended for most .842 dia. offset pushrod seat applications.
