That’s me… I finished a build on a new 482 MR1A block in July. Same cam grind, brand new short travel hydraulic roller lifters (Johnson). Made about 85 runs and…. Lifters checked out. 4 different had loose pins and 3 of them were stuck in the bores. I removed pan, gently slid the pins back into place and they fell out (except #7E, I’ll have to remove crank).

Talk about a swift kick in the nuts! Think I’ll be switching to SR and bushed lifters in the future.

Thats crazy, could have ruined a aftermarket block. I see no reason to ever trust a hyd roller lifter.
Besides, I like the sound of solids. Sound the way hot rods are supposed to sound.

Hello ... no not really. Post office issues and tariffs kind of shut this down for me. The guy in the white house wants you to buy domestic.
