Power Sealed Lifters?

Have you guys ever heard of them. One of my lifters has been sticking off and on for over a year now, but I have been putting off changing them because GM replacements are $44 a piece. 44 x 16 = $$$ So I want to advanced auto parts the other day and to my amazement they carry power sealed OEM replacement lifters for $8.07. Is power sealed a respected name, will these lifters hold up to 918's. They are supose to be OEM replacement so I am assuming they are as strong as the GM units. Any feedback would be great.

An $8 hydraulic lifter? They are probably mistaken...I bet they are telling you a lifter for a small-block chevy. A SBC lifter will not fit the LS1.
Comp Cams has a high-quality OEM replacement set for about $200. Many of our sponsors carry them.

So...why do they have different part numbers?

CC 262-400 SBC hydraulic roller lifter: 853-16 or 885-16

CC LS1 hydraulic roller lifter: 850-16 or 875-16

Just curious?
