Question about Comp R lifters. A friend of mine purchased and installed some Comp R lifter's, and it's sounds as if one or more of them are bad after only 450 miles. He called where he purchased them from and they told him that he needed to run adjustable rockers with these lifters or they will fail. Is this true? They told him that that was common knowledge, yet failed to mention it when they sold them to him. I don't know how much of this story is true but would like to know if you are supposed to run adjustable rockers with the Comp R's. Thanks for any help.

I had the chance to go with the R's in my setup I ordered from absolute speed and chose not too (as well as different springs so I didn't have to use the R's).

They do not require adjustables. But they do need the preload set CORRECTLY. I set them all the time with the Harland Sharp roller rockers without any issues.
