I have them. I run offset ones with pushrod oiling. No issues with them but my motor does not have a lot of time on it.

A freind of mine runs them on a turbo car with 1250 springs.
I elected to run Morrels. Ryan actually told me about them. Bullit recommended them and sold them to me. For the money they are hard to beat. No problems yet. Was on a slick track yesterday and turned 9,500 in high gear. The engine did not even quiver.
I had terrible luck with the comp cams lifters but, Ryan caught them cracking before they failed all the way. Good thing he had a pair in his hands to redo the lifter bores after the small block guru in Indy screwed them up.

Those of you running them, which ones are you running? I found they have two different types. Ones with a pressure fed needle bearing, and some with a solid bearing and no needle bearings. Just wondering how they work and if anyone has had any good or bad experience with them. Thanks, Beep
I wouldn't use the solid bearings.

I was told to spend the extra $$$ on the EZ Roll bearing option if I was going to use Isky Roller lifters.
What experiences have you had?

Any of you running the solid bearing? Or did you stick with the standard needle bearing type? Thanks for your input. Beep
I have the solid bearing EZ Roll Isky's in my 572....so far so good.
Chip has been running them for years in his Big Hemi with lots of passes and street miles. He would be able to provide good feedback, inmo.

Consider the difference between how easy a roller skate wheel spins with roller bearings vs sealed bearings. I think the solid bearings would have to much resistance.

Why? What is your experience with them? Have you personally used them?

I had Red Zones in my car, worked great and all looked good as new when we freshened it at 223 passes after a cam failure. Lifters were fine. I sent them to Isky to be upgraded to the EZ Roll X option. So far so good but only have a few passes on it. FWIW I run 1050 open spring pressure.

I have ran both types John with no issues. But for the money the Lunati roller lifters are my favorite. They are in my current motor, nice lifter for less than $400 from Jegs. poppaj
