im gonna replace lifters.....need help??
im gonna replace lifters.....need help?? i m gonna replace lifters next week .i hear bad and good on the comp r and you may have to shim them.would it be just as good to go with the comp brand but oem....?i just want a stock size replacement.any other brands out there i can just quickly replace....?
Get stock replacement lifters. It really doesn't matter which ones you get they are all going to perform the same (as far as oem replacement's are concerned) Comp R's need adjustable rockers for them to be PROPERLY set up. Some people get away with shims or just get lucky, I wouldn't mess with them without the adj rockers though.
Futral uses the cheap melling lifters even in their big stroker motors, from what i understand. I think theyre like 165 for the set.
I replaced a couple lifters already, but i ordered the melling set for when I do heads.

They have a hell of a good reputation on this board. Although there are a number of shops that also have good reps. Make a few calls and see what people are suggesting.

Comp makes a stock replacement. They are doing just fine for my moter. Also replace the plastic lifter trays while your at it.

As I understand it Comp makes the OEMs as well at the Rs. The Rs have a stronger spring. You must be talking about adjustable rockers if your going to use shims to get the correct preload. The OEMs sit on those long pedestals and are non-adjustable(no shimming). If you go with aftermarket rockers(adjustable) you might get into using shims or pushrods that are of a length different than stock. I like the Comp Pro Mags. They do require the use of guide plates and hardened pushrods as they are stud mounted. They are roller tip and adjustable. If you use R lifter with them you tighten until you just reach ZERO lash and then lock the set screw. If you use OEMs you turn an additional 1/2 turn then lock it down. Be sure that set screw is good and tight and you'll have many thousands of trouble free miles as I have. Replacing the plastic lifter retainers at $5 each is a good investment. I read that if you drill 1/2" holes in them the oil will drain back into the pan more quickly.
