'Johnson Lifters' is good quality performance lifters, they make pushrod oiling Gen III roller lifters and also do lifters for GM for the Copo Camaro race car. Have had issues with 'Hylift Johnson' lifters from Comp on several engines - Mopar and others.

FWIW, this is a quote from Mike Jones (Jones Racing Cams) on another forum where people were asking about what quality lifters were available for SBC these days: "We've sold thousands of the Johnson-Hylift lifters, since they changed to the new foundry, and have had zero issues."

Considering the state of the industry (outsider's perspective), I'd want to be sure of where my lifters are sourced these days.


And after installing the Johnson HyLifts into my customers 383/489 stroker and replacing the POS failed lifters from Bullet, I can tell you I will only go with Johnson HyLifts from this moment forward. Those failed lifters cost me time and money on my customers project. I'll happily pay the higher cost for the Johnsons. I got these from Hughes for this Mopar, hoping I can find them for GM and Ford now. Need to find a supplier for Brand X Johnsons.
