Boy so would I. It's disappointing the same lifters I bought 10 years ago, or even just 5 years ago for $500, are now over a thousand. Nothing has really changed with the lifter either.

As far as oil goes, 20-50 has worked perfectly fine for me for decades with flat tappets and roller lifters, regardless of who's name is on it or whether it has a wheel on the bottom or not. But I...

Makes sense. I also don't see why anyone expects these companies to make the cheaper parts better. As long as people keep buying the stuff then why would they change anything. They keep selling the...

That's honestly not the whole story. That may be the case with some of these cheap $500 rollers that people keep buying, and probably why you keep hearing about it. But not the case or what I've...

It's not just Pontiac, it's all brands. This is not a cheap hobby, especially when it comes to building engines and using good quality parts. Yeah it's 2025 and this stuff is not going to get any...

As far as I'm concerned there's only one pick whether it's a mild build or not, and that's the Hylift Johnson's with pin oiling. Yeah they are expensive, last set was $1400 for a sbc build I did...

Having the cam nitrided and use the Hylifts is probably the most rugged combo for a HFT. On a mechanical it is the tool steel lifter with face oiling or a dlc coating, and having the cam nitrided or...
