The HLJ’s can rev well past 6, they just quit making power and loose valve control with aggressive cams like your cam just past 6. Johnson’s have slightly better valving and similar leak down rates, and seem to rev a bit higher with the same set up. I have HLJ’s on a couple of my engines and shift at 6k. They are done at 6k, and have rev limiters at 6, so what happens after that really doesn’t matter.

I'm sorry for being so redundant about this but I'm trying to take it all in. I have zero experience with hydraulic lifters. So, what would be the difference if I used the Short Travel JLI-ST2112OPR-16 to the Hy-Lift HLJ-A-2375SE lifter? What I think I'm understanding so far is one will rpm higher where the other will fall off at 6000rpm but will have pin oiling? with the oil band being lower is that better or worse reliability wise? I thought they all were Johnson made. From what I see Butler sells 4 different lifters made by Johnson? I know I'm dragging this but I'm real close on buying a set so if you can just bear with me on this . Lol
