for any roller application, Crower, or Morel i just don't trust anyone else.
i see Isky has a bushed lifter with no roller bearings but i have never used them nor have i ever talked to anyone that has. they look interesting though.

There's like a billion hydraulic roller lifters out on the roads today -- these weren't solid rollers in an FE.  Must have just been really, really crappy parts. I would not be happy.  |

Brent is using these lifters on my build and has experience with them. When we were choosing the parts I spoke with an engineer at Isky and he claimed they have test data that shows these lifters last 2-3x (or more) roller bearing lifters, and several of the guys at Isky use them on their daily drivers (I guess that's why they work at Isky) and have 40-50k+ miles on them with normal adjustment. It certainly sounds like a good design idea to me. |

How do you two know that they're not counterfeit parts? |

Yep, read the article in the latest Hot Rod magazine. Damn shame to the industry, but you just need to be aware.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's another subject that no one wants to talk about and everyone wants to pretend like it never happens. You know, like getting killed driving your Cobra....  |
