Based on how those pics look I would say no. They also look like the old solid lifter that comp made as I do not see the EDM. You can send them back to comp for inspection if you would like, but I would just buy a new set.

Mechanical roller lifters are one of those parts that you change no matter what. Its expensive but the extra insurance is worth it.

thx alot,,,i'll buy a new set as you guys recomended,,

i searched about which one to use and found out that most of the folks are using Morel Or Crower, Morel is cheaper but if there are any advantges going with Crower, i'd go for it,i'm using a cam with .780" lift.

We've been using Crower's in every engine we build lately. They're some bad *** lifters but costly like you said.
