Just my opinion. But the Crower HFT cam shaver lifters are probably the best of the cheap HFT’s. I had a friend I picked a cam out for last week, and I suggested the Crower cam savers, which he ordered. Best of cheap was what I relayed to him, I guess that was what he was looking for.

Isky is probably the only other brand that is right in there for quality against HLJ. They are cheaper than HLJ, but more expensive than most lifters, and are a SBC core, which require different push rods.

It is really hard to tell how well the crown was machined looking at a photo. These days you can usually spot lifters made by HLJ by going off the price, they have gotten pretty expensive.
