Sportsman Tie Bar
ROLLER LIFTERS
High Quality. High Value. Lower Cost.
As with our popular Sportsman Series rocker line, the Jesel Sportsman Series Tie-Bar Lifters offers the same Jesel quality and durability at a lower cost. From mild drag engines, street/strip builds, pleasure boats to circle track, these lifters will give you the bullet proof performance you are looking for.
These Sportsman lifters use a polished version of the same 8620 heat treated body we use in our Pro series line and are assembled with our bronze bushing cam rollers. In addition to the lifter body, the Sportsman Series lifters also share the same roller, axle, tie-bar and hardware found in the Pro Series line.
The bronze bushings we use in the roller package has been durability tested through hundreds of torturous dyno pulls and over a million cycles on our in-house Spintron. A direct pressure fed oiling circuit ensures that the bushings receive an adequate oil supply as the lifter travels through the lift cycle.
Lifters are available for select OE and aftermarket applications with a range of lifter body diameters from .842” to .905” with either offset or on-center pushrod seats.

Our Roller Lifter Story
Roller lifters had been around for years, being used in various applications such as radial aircraft engines, but when a few progressive engine builders started adapting them to race engines, horsepower and rpm made a huge leap forward. Cam grinders began designing cam profiles with shorter durations and higher rates of lift than a traditional solid lifter could tolerate. The result was incredible power gains especially with the typical modified O.E. style cylinder heads of the day. As valvetrain loads escalated with more lift, rocker ratio and spring pressure, the roller lifter was overtaxed and suffered frequent failures.
