High Performance Hyd Lifters? Other than the Comp R lifters, are there any other high performance lifters I can get? Are the Cranes any good? I'm looking for something that can stand ~400# open pressure and 7500rpm. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: High Performance Hyd Lifters? Wait a minute. I may be confused. Now that I think about it I can't remember if I have the Comps or the Cranes. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
I'll find out.

Re: High Performance Hyd Lifters? I just put in a set of cranes.
ARE Stage II H/C .554 Lift (I have no clue what # lift)
They sound like a sewing machine, but don't collapse like the stockers do.
They look nothing like the stockers

The lifters that I recieved from crane were nothing like the stockers. They are basically a metal cylindrical tube with a small ring and hole about the center. You can't see but just the very tip of the roller. They were slightly lighter than the stockers, and had the oil fill hole on a different axis as well. They look basically bomb-proof. When I find the box, I will give a part number.
They installed fine, but are as loud as hell. The car sounds like a sewing machine.

Re: High Performance Hyd Lifters? FWIW, there are 2 styles of OEM lifters. I can't describe them well, but 1 has a complete cage over the roller area, the other has parts cut away on the cage with less material. The newest OEM doesn't have a full cage and are weaker. Started in '01 from GM??
