Default anyone used the Morel "Street" Hydraulic Link-Bar Lifters

I was Looking for some lifter for my new Build
saw this lifters and wanted to know if anyone used them yet?
the price is lower then other Morel Lifters

The cam i'm going with isn't very aggressive so wanted to know if i could use them?

think the part number is 184-5290-STRT

Im using a LSX block and would like a lifter that is Linked with Link Bar

I've shipped a little over 100 sets of these this year to LS Shops. I have had not one issue with the lifter.

I have a morel w/ pressed in link bar that gave up on me, if you or someone you know would like to take a look at it I would appreciate it.

maybe 7000 miles on it, comp 921 spring and 600 lift at the valve

My friend had a track engine built with these lifters and one just failed. the engine had 17 hours on it. Not so sure this should have been speced in a race engine.

What kinda lift was he running?
How big of a cam? How much pre load? How much RPM?

The lifter is designed to for street cars with the occasional pass at the the track. They are not built for all out race cars. Still would like to see the lifter.

MightyMouse, I'm curious what failed on your lifter...part of the link bar setup, or the internal plunger?

Reason I ask, is I'm building something that sounds REALLY similar to your setup (an RCH under 0.600 lift, Comp 921's and boost) and I'm shopping for my lifters right now...hopefully going to take advantage of a "holiday" or "year end" sale if I can decide what to order lol.

the rest of the lifters and the lunati version i replaced them with have been fine rest of the season.

i still don't know what happened to the lifter because i have not been given further return instruction from cstraub / morel

I think I'll buy the Lunati version, far as I know they're the same lifter...but for an awesome price in comparison.

I'm pretty sure the Lunati is just a repackaged Morel. I had a Comp short stroke lifter fail due to way too much preload. I bought the street Morel lifters for my new cam. I'm going with a less aggressive ramp rate to be able to turn 7500-7700 rpm.

I have the Lunati link bar and so far so good. Cam lift is .635 with spings for .660 lift.

Be sure and check you piston to valve clearance as the Lunati's where .100 taller then the Comp lifters ( a plunger failed on one ) they replaced.
