Just wondering if anyone knows of a place that is rebuilding roller lifters. I used to get mine done at Comp but I guess they stopped doing it a couple of years ago. Any suggestion would be appreciated. I always had 3 sets that I had in rotation but I got lazy on sending them back. Now I need a set and don't have any!!!!
Thanx 451 Guy

a couple years ago I purchased some Comp solid roller lifters just because they had a rebuilding service for those lifters. So when it came time to freshen the engine, I called Comp, they told me they got out of the rebuilding business. First I paid extra for the lifters because they were quote "rebuildable," second seems to me they owed it to their customers who purchased them, to at least notify them that they were cancelling the service. I will never buy a Comp lifter again. And the ones I purchased held up just fine, its the idea of the whole deal. They told me at PRI in 2019 that the vendor they buy the lifters from won't sell them individual parts anymore.

Thank you all for your replies. I know that buying new lifters is the way to go. I think that it is something that I will have to work towards.
Thanks again!

I had a set that had 150 passes. Decided since a few spread and one had a bad bearing to go to Isky Redzone bushed. That was 500 pass ago. No need to pull them yet. 300/805 spring pressure. Doug Have not purchased a set of bushed rollers, heard some stuff through the grapevine that until you build oil pressure, bushed roller lifters make the engine harder to roll over. Did you notice any of that when it was on the engine stand?
