Ok ive heard good and bad things on comp "r" series lifters i can get a brand new set never used for $150 out the door no tax no shipping.I,m putting together my motor right now and i had a little metal run through my old motor due to a spun bearing so i know some metal got in my stock lifters what do you guys think????

 

are they the old r's or new ones the new ones are the ones with the issues,

you can take apart the stock lifters and clean them out, thats what i did when i put my engine back together.

 

Well i know the guy bought them awhile back how do i tell if ther are old or new style??

 

search on here someone posted a pic of an old one and a new one
its the way the retaining clip is, im not 100% sure

 

ok thanks i might just end up cleaning my old ones figured if i got the comp "r" lifters cheap enough would have ben an upgrade.BTW what was the problem with the later models i heard someting about them coming apart??

 

yea the clips would break
i have no personal experience i have had oem lifters always, they seem to be fine
