Shubeck is a smart man, you can thank him for the design of the "blow proof" bellhousing that Lakewood has mfg for years.

The lifter is just a new twist on old technology. How many of you out there remember Mushroom Tappet cams. . .

Expensive is a relative term.

Expensive compared to adjustable shaftmount rockers?

Not that pricey considering that if you euchre a SR lifter from low oil or no manitainence then you are spending more $$$$

how often are people pulling their SR lifters and replacing them? I had always heard you are "safe" with about 50K miles.....
