Ahhh the never ending saga continues!! Looks like I need a set of roller lifters the old set fit a little loose and upon manipulaion light shown though so I guess I need a new set to take care of the oiling issue. Which brand is the best bang for the buck without breaking the bank or my back?

Just curious. Anything wrong with Crane solid roller lifters??

Go get a Crower and take a good, hard look at theres I like and use there extreme duty ones BTW, a little loose is way better than a tiny bit to tight on them just like pistons, bearings, valve guides and so on

For me, and for the money a Crane Ultra Pro can't be beat. Crane has standard, pro, and ultra pro lifters. I would only use the ultra pros with a big spring. Ultra pros sell for around 550-600 a set.

I have had no problems with the plain old comp stuff, no doubt the lifters previously named are better, but you did say budget..I have run the comps for years, and so has many of my friends....You don't hear about failures to often..When you do they had other problems, or been in the engine for thousands of runs...

You can easily get 3-4 seasons out of a set, depending on the runs. 600 passes no sweat.

Thanks everyone, I guess I will have to take a hard long look at the lunati, cause with the Summit discount I can get a set for around $260 and with all the cash I have going out these days that is something I cannot ignore??

all solid rollers will need to rebuilt, and i have heard that comp has the best deal on rebuilding there own.

Just for what it's worth I thought I'd say why I like the ultra pro cranes so much. It's just our experience with Fords that led me to my opinion.

Standard dia ford tappets are almost identical to Chrysler manufacturer to manufacturer. The big difference is a Ford tappet is the smallest dia of the bunch. We do a bunch of big Fords every year that use a standard dia tappet with cams and springs that should have a .937 or at least a .903, or a .904. A fair number of customers don't want to spend a penny more than they need to just get by, and that's fine, it is what it is. Some of these cams are 1.100 or more lift with evil pressure, and fast ramps. The only tappet that we've found that will live ANY time at all under this strain (FOR THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY) is an ultra pro from crane. Comp,isky,lunati,crower,ect,ect, usually die on the dyno (AT FACTORY FORD DIA.) So what this meant to me was when a factory dia Ford tappet from Crane would live where others would not, surely their Chrysler and Chevy dia lifters would be the toughest of the bunch since they're just fatter than the Ford tappet. The larger dia Chrysler tappets from all those guys seem to work fine, I'm just convinced from what I described that if a Crane ultra pro can live in a Ford being that small, and unsupported as they are, then surely a big fat Chrysler dia one would be tough as nails.

Poppa J what kind of builds are you talking street, stip High HP ect.

thx

How do those Lunati lifters work in an unbushed block?

Comp Cam Lifter Rebuild - all w/ .800 diameter wheel
part number 800-RB2-1
http://www.compperformancegroupstores.co...;Category_Code=
$12.13

It cost $185.00 to have Comp cams rebuild mine a few weeks ago. $567.00 for Jesel to rebuild the rockers but they had to replace 7 rollers.

The best bang for the buck without breaking the bank lifters would be Herbert HERTDV lifters for $219.99
