I have researched the lifter issue for some time. I wondered if anyone has tried to remedy this problem with aftermarket lifters. Lifters that appear to be good alternatives include:
Johnson Lifters with axle oiling - #2356
Johnson Hylift with Direct Shot oiling - B-2335SE (16)
Crower EDM axle oiling - 66323PH-16
Isky HPx lifters - 3577-HYRT (needle bearing) - 3575-HYRT (bushing)
I have not bought into this being a lack of oiling issue, but the added oil to the needle bearings and axle can't hurt. I wonder if the Isky bushed lifters would take care of the problem (Isky modifies Johnson lifters). Anybody with experience using any of these lifters?
Very good info and I haven't bought into the oiling issue either because aren't at least some of the others if not all same design; 6.1, 6.2, 6.4? Not all these experience same issue. I know there's different oil to piston at top of stroke I believe but concerning lifters?
