Default Isky Red Zone with Easy Roll Lifters?

I am looking to upgrade to a solid roller cam that Rmbuilder has designed for me. I am thinking about using Isky Red Zone with Esay Roll Lifters. Has anyone tried them or heard good or bad about them? I talked to Rmbuilder and Isky today, they both seem to like them. Isky told me so far there were no failures. Then again, what else would they say. However, I do trust Rmbuilders opinion on this. He has concurred with Isky.

I have heard the easy rolls are awesome also....wish they had them around 5 yrs ago when I was destroying lifters... on a high HP big inch NA motor with a "small" 280/288 @.050, ~ .780" lift cam...

Somebody has to be first! We can bring this thread back next year after 50-100 hrs and see how everybody is doing.
Thanks for taking the risk...

I'm using the Isky Red Zone lifters and am in the process of pulling the intake to see if I have a bad one. I'm pretty sure the lifter on #1 intake is bad. I don't think the cam went first but I'll know by tomorrow.

That sucks. Were the lifters the new style with EZ-Roll wheels? We also went for the captive guide bar lifters.

It is now the top of the nine inning for Joe Schubeck Roller X lifters and they struck out. I have about 90 hrs on my set and two of them have cracks in them.. So that is the reason I am going back to Isky.
Hey maybe the three boxes of old ones I have, they can rebuild them, paint them red and put the EZ wheels on them.. just at thought.

Vinny and I will post back after the 100hr mark and let you know..

Check300, did it do any damage to that killer motor of yours?? I hope not!!

D*ck

D*ck,
When comparing the # of hours we put on our boats, I think I will hit 100 hours first. Hopefully, we made the right decision here. I hate being the first kid on the block with the new toy.
