It sounds like you are thinking about a push rod motor. The lifter in the Neon motor stays stationary and is not moving up and down.

Are these ok to use on the Crower stage 2 camshafts?

We always do our best to keep these in stock, but we cant use this as a stock check service. Please contact us by phone to check stock and or discuss.

Are these for DOHC only or can they be used in SOHC? Please let me know. If they can't be used in SOHC can you get SOHC ones?

If anything, it will improve gas mileage because instead of your car running super rich at idle, you'll have a more appropriate, leaner fuel mixture.

Is there a suitable cam that used in conjunction with these lifters that will increase the power band of a mildy modified engine (i.e. K & N filter charger kit, Magnaflow performance exhaust system)? Specifically, I would be interested in a combination that could improve low and mid-range torque & possibly MPG? Any data on this?

Customers dont buy Rhoads lash adjusters then search for cams. Its the other way around. You buy the cam that suits your needs and then install the Rhoads to improve lower rpm gas mileage and power. There is no further data other than the video we posted showing the difference in vacuum. The lower vacuum pulled with a big cam without Rhoads causes the car to be rich, which causes poor gas mileage, power loss, etc. The video shows after we installed the lifters that vacuum improved greatly and driveability improved nicely.

I have Crane 12 cams. Would you recommend these? I was going to upgrade to the 2.7 rockers and lifters, but I am getting mixed information from other places.

Crane 12's are still very street friendly and you'll see a benefit, but not as much as guys with Crane 18's or higher. The video we have on this page is a 2.4 high compression with Crower 4's which are a very aggressive grind as well.
