You should probably call them to make sure if they still do that now. Isky phone number is 323-770-0930 scope

Thanks Cab, I emailed them with an enquiry a few days ago but heard nothing yet.

Im in Australia, so email is better first up.

Is there a specific individual at Isky that handles this/can be emailed?

Thanks !

If they are anything like Jesel, it will be close to the cost of a new lifter. Jesel replace everything, except the lifter body, not sure if Isky do they same.

I was quoted around $700 by Isky to rebuild/convert my needle bearing style Red Zones over to the bushed style. That was a couple years ago though.
I think it was going to be around $400 to simply rebuild them w/ new needle bearings.

You can also buy the parts from Jesel to rebuild them yourself. That might have changed.

I've sent a few sets of bushed lifters in to get rebuilt. Pretty quick and I didn't think the cost was unreasonable but don't remember the cost either.

I just talked to Isky on the phone a couple weeks ago about having a set of bushed lifters rebuilt. If I remember correctly it was about $45ish per lifter for rebuild.

So what on the bushed lifters is the telltale for the need for rebuild, and use wise, how is that comparing to the needle lifters?


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
