Essentially, no. The only exception is if you want to go with the above mentioned Lindsey Racing solid lifter conversion. That really isn't relevant as it's a race-oriented setup with a price to match. It's kinda odd the aftermarket never stepped in to offer a replacement, considering you should replace them as part of any good rebuild.

Considering that's the cost of ~4 new OEM lifters.
Plenty of OEM cars have solid lifters (most Japanese do) but they certainly are easier to do lash adjustments than the OHC 944.
But as a procedure you only have to do once every 5-10 years it's not so bad - maybe check your lash at timing belt changes and plan to adjust as needed every other belt job.

Not a bad price IMO.

LR advertises this as being compatible with a stock cam.
On other cars I know there's a profile change when going to solid roller lifters, but that shouldn't affect the 944 buckets.
I might be missing something though.

Hey, just wondering how your lifters held up. I just bought the same lifter for my 968 and they don't quite fit but they look like they should. There was some discussion below about if the grove in the lifter would cause a problem with the oil getting into it and functioning properly, so I'm real curious as to your experience with them now that you have been running them.

Anyone ever tried the INA lifter 420 0022 100 This lifter can be bought for $5-7 each vs the INA 420 0010 100 which is the specified lifter for the 944/968 at $20-25 each. I have been told that the VW/Audi lifter can be used as a replacement in the 944/968. Anyone have any info to share on this part swap ?? Im probably putting in a set of used cams and thought I should replace the lifters with the used cams.
