Maybe you can share your thoughts on this. Johnson before it became Hy-lift used to check the hardness on every lifter it sold. Around 1990 they stopped this process, the same time the great lifter debacle of the twentieth century started. I could never wrap my head around why they stopped this. I thought if they performed the test for decades obviously they were rejecting lifters. If they weren't finding soft lifters why did the waiste effort checking every single lifter until that point.
