Links for which lifters?

The LS7 lifters are the standard replacement and work well in most street setups, particularly EPS set ups. You wil get more negative reports on these because they are used in so many set ups - even with the same failure rate there will be more adverse reports.

Morels are top notch machined parts and the "street" version is cast. It is my understanding that the Lunati lifters (both premium and street versions) are made by Morel. In any event, the Lunati name only goes on quality parts.

Comp Rs are good, but they have a tiny preload tolerance (0.002" to 0.004" - If I recall correctly) and require adjustable rockers to work properly. I suspect most horror story can be traced back to imprecise valvetrain set ups.
