Not sure why you would switch the Crowers if you have hylifts? 64speeds didn’t mention his builder took 2 sets of Crower Camsavers to find one good set that he was happy with. That builder checks the crown on the lifters before he uses them. Crower cam savers use to be made by hylift. But these days Crower advertises lifters as Johnson now when they are Johnson’s, and when they are not advertises as being Johnson the price is much cheaper. I don’t know for sure though who supplies Crower with lifters, these companies switch suppliers pretty frequently. With lifters you usually get what you pay for.
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 better yet, a tool steel cam$$$. Adding the oiling option is a good idea, it mostly helps for idle protection though on flat tappets.

I’ve been trying to research who is making Crower’s cam saver lifters & can’t find an answer, I’ve emailed them two times with no response, when I get some time I guess I’ll have to call them again to see if they can give me an answer.
