As a follow up to that thread.......

There were no problems with the upgraded replacement lifters on that build.

I was contacted by someone who had used the same type of lifters as the ones we had problems with, and they had no problems.
He made it a point to tell me he had gone with the “ez-max” bearing material.

The replacement lifters I got had the ez-max bearings....... and the pressurized edm oiling option.

Thanks for retrieving the old thread Dwayne. Almost 2? years ago I called over to Isky and Richard got on the phone. We reviewed the 3 different sets of "BBChevy" lifters I had on hand, he was reasonable to talk with. Some bodies are now obsolete. Since then I sent one set in that I had them swap the captured link bars over to BBMopar, i can tell you that my experience was GOOD. These are bearing-style .937/.850 wheel, PR oil, offset intakes and I'm about to see how they package in my KB block. But the old thread is relevant in identifying one of many issues here for posterity.
