I used to buy trays of the Johnson Lifters made in Muskegon Michigan.
The roller lifters made in the Detroit area are not the same company.
I have posted about this in the past.
For a while the "Detroit area based company only made the Roller Lifter Version of the Lifters.
Not sure what they are selling today.
They were renting space in the back of another business in the Detroit area.
Now the Lifters made in Muskegon Michigan and sold to Rhoads Lifters and modified by them (groove)
have always been high quality Hydraulic FLAT TAPPET lifters.
And they were made in Muskegon and used parts from other MICHIGAN companies in the area.
I have all of the lifters I need for my 455 cid street car but agree lifters like many things made offshore are a flip of the coin deal.
Sorry to hear about your issue with the lifter.
