The OE Hellcat Style Lifters & Trays Set of 16 is an excellent upgrade for builders looking to improve the reliability of their Gen 3 HEMI engine during an MDS delete, camshaft installation, or complete engine rebuild. Featuring OE-style Hellcat replacement hydraulic roller lifters and matching lifter trays, this complete kit includes all sixteen lifters and four trays required for a full V8 installation. Designed to replace factory MDS lifters with durable non-MDS components, this kit provides the dependable valvetrain performance enthusiasts demand while maintaining factory-style fit and operation. Whether you’re building a naturally aspirated street car, a boosted Hellcat, or a dedicated race engine, this OE kit offers an affordable, high-quality solution for long-term durability.
Unlike factory MDS lifters that incorporate cylinder deactivation components, the Hellcat-style non-MDS design is intended for engines that have undergone an MDS delete conversion. Removing the MDS system eliminates one of the most common wear points in the Gen 3 HEMI valvetrain while providing a stronger lifter capable of supporting aftermarket camshafts and higher engine speeds. This makes the OE style kit is a popular choice among HEMI enthusiasts performing cam upgrades or preventative maintenance on high-mileage engines. The OE-style construction ensures proper fitment within factory lifter bores while maintaining the hydraulic operation necessary for quiet performance and excellent oil control.
Unlike purchasing lifters individually, this package includes everything needed to complete one engine. The kit contains 16 Hellcat-style hydraulic roller lifters and four lifter trays, eliminating the need to source additional retainers or trays separately. When paired with the proper MDS delete camshaft, tuning, pushrods, and valve springs, these lifters become an essential part of a reliable performance valvetrain.
Whether your goal is improved reliability, increased horsepower, or preparing your engine for forced induction, the OE Hellcat Style Lifter Kit delivers outstanding value. The OE-style hydraulic roller design helps reduce friction, promotes smooth valve operation, and supports consistent performance across a wide RPM range. It is an ideal choice for daily-driven vehicles, weekend drag cars, autocross builds, tow rigs, and high-performance street applications utilizing the Gen 3 HEMI platform. Since the kit replaces all factory lifters at once, it is also recommended whenever a camshaft is replaced to help maximize longevity and prevent premature wear.
