Are there any issues and with using one manufacturers lifter with another manufacturers camshaft? For example Crower mechanical roller lifters with Comp Cams mechanical roller camshaft?

Nope.

Any specific thing all these questions are directed at? Are you trying to figure out if you have a ticking time bomb or are you looking for direction?

Brent -
I am wondering if I have a ticking time bomb! And also looking for direction. I am thinking I will run the engine 3K to 4K miles then inspect the lifters. If I can just swap out the lifters to the Crower mechanical roller lifters with bushings rather than needle bearings I would do that. I have a Comp Cams mechanical roller. If possible I would prefer to just change out the lifters. I was influenced to go with mechanical lifters because of comments Jay Brown made in his book on FE intakes.
I do appreciate your inputs to this website and value your experience.
Thanks,
BD

I too am in the same thought process /same Comp Cams lifters that Whodeeny has.

I'm considering the Comp Cams Sportsman 96838B-16 Pressure fed axles and bronze bushings instead of rollers. Approx $930 a set. Real selling point for me is the seat height is the same as what I have installed now.
Although that decision may change a few times over the next 3-4 years until I'm ready for a set.
