That's just it, people need to look past the price
My case in point. The evo's were $700 and the Johnson's are $1000. $300 is nothing in my eyes when your talking about $10,000 engines. But I tried them because of the reviews and I wanted to see for myself before I go using them in someone else's engine. Now i know

As of right now I'm not interested in replacing a cartridge for one that bleeds down, in fact I pulled the covers and rotated the engine by hand and can't narrow down a culprit, none of the plungers moved. Yet I fired it up and one ticks for a second or two.

Now buying the Johnson's I should have in the first place. The $300 difference would have saved me money because now I guarantee I'll be buying another set of $150 pushrods as I doubt the Johnson's are the same height, more gaskets, fluids, and my time will more than surpass the price difference .

Something people really should keep in mind when fixated on prices. Trying to save a few bucks doesn't always equate to savings when things go south
