I currently run the Comp cams 892 lifters. What are your experiences with these??? I cringe every time I drive the car 30-50 miles. I bet it has less than 3500 miles and feel in my gut that one is going to let go. Maybe I should just buy bushed roller lifters and a mellow Solid roller cam.
I used to run the comp 829s. All of my street cars had at least a 700" solid roller cam in them. The needle bearings in the lifters failed in them in short time.
I think it's all that idleing and low speed driving that does them in. They seem to last in drag Motors because there is a ton of oil being slung around in there.that doesn't happen when they're idling on the street. I switched to isky EZ roll Max bushed lifters a few years ago. I have had no problems ever since. I wish they could do something similar to needle bearing rocker arms. With my spring pressures and being street cars those take a beating as well.....
