I hear good, then last week I heard a few people had issues, but thats always subject to discussion, all depends why it failed....I plan to buy Morel, but talking to a drag car buddy last night he was saying Isky is making great lifters....not sure what I am gonna do yet..

I 've run them in a dozen motors and haven't had any issues,couple engines approaching 150hrs.but we run conservative lifts,usually less than .680".

Those are BBC parts, so no, I've never had a problem with them. However, a few years ago after I got done assembling my current 406 SBC, I got a call from the engine builder who only did the machine work and got me the parts, and was told there was a recall on the ones I had installed. Something about the axles press fit not staying put. When I installed the replacement set, of the 16 lifters, 3 had axles that where noticeably offset. Less than 10 hours before the swap. I'm not sure of the actual part numbers, but was told the new set was the race version.

Post #17 relates to the 5372/5374 SBC/BBC OEM “street replacement” lifter design of several years ago. This is a lifter that we have never used or recommended in marine applications.
Morel uses a wire C clip design in lieu of a swedged axle design in any of its performance lifters.
