Are These New Lifters Pooched? So Im not getting any oil pressure after my new lifters. I tore the heads back off and tested the lifters with air. My brand new lifters are leaking around the plunger when I blow air into the feed hole, does this make sense??? Heres a video

ET's pistons seem to have a good reputation.
For lifters I'd stick with the known high quality providers like Johnson, Morel, Summit.

Never heard of them. Probably made for them by Eaton, or?? Anyway, see if you can borrow a known good used lifter from someone. Barring that, I once read where traditional SBC lifters were the same as LS1 lifters, so if you have a set in the garage, see if they oil. I also once ran a set because I'd read that info in Hot Rod, and damned if they didn't work just fine!! With the lifters removed, can you see oil coming into the lifter bores?
