WARNING: Flat Tappet Lifters
Thursday, February 03, 2022 3:35 PM
Hey all

I've seen fair number of reports lately concerning new lifters failing almost instantly. The folks reporting this news are professional shop owners/builders and it appears to be widespread.
You can easily find more information, if you feel the need.
Now might not be a good time to plan an engine rebuild, unless you've got some NOS lifters.

Johnson lifters are the only ones recommended..... All the others are made in China.
