I am looking to see if any of the companies out there will rebuild roller lifters. I have run the Comp Endure X 829-16 roller lifters in my stuff for a long time. Have never had an issue. For years I had two sets on rotation. I would remove them after 300 - 350 runs and then replace them. Once I took them out I would send them back to Comp and they would go through them. So I always had a relatively fresh set in the motor with a rebuilt set on hand.
However, Comp is no longer offering this service and it is difficult to find other lifters that have the same cup height. I could replace them but then I am buying new push rods again.
If anyone knows of a place I have three sets that I would send back at this point.
Thanks in advance.
Thanx 451 Guy

My unsolicited opinion is, toss them and go with something higher quality.

I bought some comp lifters a few years ago just because of the ability to rebuild, and the fact that comp said they would rebuild them. I freshened the engine and called comp they said they had discontinued the rebuilding service. So I just bought another brand screw them. You probably bought a set from one of the companies comp is now in with. Lol 😂

Unless spare parts are available, you're going to have to switch brands sadly. BAM, Isky and Jesel are rebuildable. I am sure there are others

1.79 is the height on the 829s. I guess I am in the same boat with my lifters. I bought the bushed 829B sportsmans several years ago and planned on having them rebuilt and here we are..... They are freaking $1200 now too. I have over 600 passes on them at 800lb spring pressure so I can vouch for them as far as quality, but not being able to have them rebuilt now sucks.

Thanks everyone for the responses.
It is frustrating when you purchase a product with an expectation of a service moving forward and things change.
I will looking the other options and see what I can come up with. However, I will only purchase from a company that offers rebuilding down the road.
Thanx 451 Guy

Apparently the 511 in my gts is getting a set of Isky red zones when it is time to rebuild the $1000+ bushed Comp Sportman lifters. What a bunch of punks!
