That picture isn't the latest new version. The new version has no roller bearings anymore. They have already been banned from being used in Sprint cars.

You can rebuild the DLC coated versions. Even after multiple races, they still look just like his picture. The coating is awesome!

Here are the lifters on their web site.

Basically, the roller runs on a bronze shaft. I think they said there was a 2-3 horsepower gain. This is pretty much the absolute latest technology. Toyota got them banned from Sprint car because they couldn't get the technology.

I wonder how they get enough oil in the bushing. I need to research the pressurized oil passageways in the block.....
