Keep adding displacement, still using them in 3rd motor 66 Belvedere Vert, 4 Speed/Jerico, slowly, very slowly, getting faster - NA LD Wedge New New Best: 10.56 @129 68 B'cuda 4 gear Jerico - Another New Best of 9.86 & Trying to slow up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4jDLKwd9Gs

Mine have 6000+ miles of street / strip / dyno use on five different cams w/o any issues. However, something happened w/ their quality control or manufacturing process at some point after I bought mine and they shipped a lot of lifters that simply didn't hold up before going out of business. If you don't know when the set you have were made and they haven't ever been used, I'd be scared to put 'em in anything. Last edited by Captain Budget!; 04/03/10 11:53 PM.

Schubecks are no longer manufactured by Schubeck, I think its now Smith Machine and can be had through FBO.

Like has been said above, their quality had been suspect. I do have to keep them adjusted. The ceramics or puck does NOT like float or out of adjustment. Some have had that ceramic disintegrate.....not good. Attend to that detail and you should be fine. 5906976-2807897-belvy.gif (82 downloads)
