Johnson Lifters
 

Are there any online suppliers for Johnson Lifters? Specifically, 2510R.

you cant buy from their web site???
just asking.............

Marine Kinetics, Bob is the best. He build engines and dynoes them, also runs a Spintron out of his shed.
I went to my engine builder the other day, a guy who builds some badass $hit to run on the salt flats, I see bobs number written on a piece of paper. I`m like why you got this idiots number.!?
"He`s a Johnson dealer"
So here`s a guy 30 years in business, actually builds engine not just lie on his website and to customers, has actual equipment and know how unlike that snake oil salesman and he has to call that moron to get lifters?!
Blew me away .
If nothing else Bob sure knows how to weasel his way into places he don`t belong.
He`s also "tech support" for Daytona boxes.. good one.

Thanks for the reply's. I will look into Marine Kinetics, they were listed on Johnson's Web Page. In response to some of the other posts, some manufactures will sell their stuff on Amazon and other web sites for less than the suggested retail price. When doing the work yourself and you are not getting the jobber price it all adds up in the end.

You won't save any money with Marine Kinetics. He has every part drop shipped from the manufacturer and you end up paying as much for shipping as you do for the parts. At least that's what happened to me the 2 times that I used him.

I’ve used Bob for years. Great guy for parts and where I get all my cams. Can you order direct for same price vs. his with shipping, possibly. At the end of the day I’d give my money to Bob cause Johnson is still getting paid what they need and Bob is still making a few dollars for his time. Very knowledgeable guy and great to deal with.

Lifters should be able to be medium flat rate boxed. That’s under $20.

I ordered Johnson lifters from marine kinectics and had an identical experience.

Teague sells Johnson lifters and had the best price around last I checked.

Just bought 3 sets from teague. They were great to deal with and super fast shipping.

I was being sarcastic, Bob is a liar and a piece of $hit snake oil salesman, maybe read my whole post .

ICDED - I take it you are referencing Madara and not Bob Teague???

Absolutely.
Bob Teague is awesome stands behind his products. Whenever I can I buy from Teague.

FACTS

Bob M Marine Kinetics is a Liar... too much to list.

Works out of his home doesn't have a shop let alone a garage

ZERO reasons to buy anything from him unless talking to him on the phone about all your hopes and dreams in offshore makes you feel special.

Literally his entire reputation was built from tire kicking losers calling him asking questions with little or no money to buy, then posting on sites like this recommending him to everyone. And it just snowballed, the next dreamer called him and chatted and pretended they were building something cool but didn't have the money and continued to recommend Bob to everyone.

Bob has helped build ZERO big power large offshore poker run or race boat engines. ZERO.

Bob Teague and Teague custom marine are Top Knotch excellent business, customer service, and prices!

Where do I begin? Lol the worst thing I ever did was call Bob... after many small issues and listening to my local buddy and fixing my cam and valve train issues and being hated on oso by a handful for calling bob out, the engines now have 5 seasons with no issues and out on dash weekly... soon as I lost bob issues went away, and I'm not the only one. The best part about my situation is I made some good engine builder friends, you want real advice here? Talk to mark rinda or Eddie young, amazing people. Get parts through them if needed, talk to guys who actually build engines, dean gellner can help also, good guy know him for years he's a good friend.

bob M Lololol I can't believe he's still ruining lives. Tell him I said hi 😂

Got me on a few things.
Custom built to his spec afr heads, that I was told absolutely no need to take them apart and check them.
Valves were so tight in the guides it wouldn’t have run for an hour.
Morel lifter issues, cams that never made any more torque just moved peak hp up the rpm range.
He is a hell of a salesman though. Have to give him that.

Wow really OSO?

the new america, ban anything that feeds truth... the days of putting things out there and letting the people decide are over...

i have pics of the ready to run head results...

offshorex post 15’s a winner!!! I’d like to wake up again and pretend I never saw icdedppl be banned. Wtf r u kidding me. I still don’t get it. I’m starting to second question what site I’m on. Really OSO???

Thats crazy Dan gets banned for warning a fellow member of the unscrupulous dealings of Bob Madera -- who is not an advertiser/paying member of this forum and he got banned??? WTF....

I wish I could get half the money and time back I lost because of Bob Madera / Marine Kinetics.... location --- his kitchen table in Rochester NY....

The moderator who hit the ban button should really reverse that decision if Bob was the reason.

It would be nice if the moderator that banned Dan could give us an explanation on this. If it was over the snake oil salesman, being as old as I am that is a term used to say silver tongued, sweet talker. Just a little more polite way of saying bullsh..er. imo hardly worth getting banned over. We have enough adversity facing us today, now censorship on a power boating site. Really come on. If one does a quick search you can easily see Dan is right on the mark. I thought this site was about helping your fellow boater out? Witch by the way includes getting taken advantage of. Anyways just my 2 cents.

I couldn’t agree more. Is it down to just the A list builders etc that can get all good reviews and just let the bad experiences with others pass without being known. Doesn’t seem very helpful in any way shape or form. So just let those hard working dollars on expensive builds go to crap over a ph call to the wrong individual. I have a difficult time believing all the threads and posts in the past are all BS. I have no direct experience with bob and won’t Tks to those who come forward. Sorry you guys had to take a big one for the team but again thanks!

Damn, that sucks. He had some of the best DIY builds and upgrades on this forum. I knew his boat from 20yrs ago and the transformation is unreal.

I don't believe it was post #4 in this thread that got him in trouble, but post #12.

From what I understand it was but maybe he’s not 100% clear on either. Text earlier today. I must have missed something in the old school ride thread. #12?

Lol I spent damn near a half hour trying to figure it out, then realized it was post 12 off this thread.

Seriously that got him banned???? I've heard 10x worse from a 12 year old.

It's not like he doesn't have first hand experience (vs. peddling 3rd party hearsay) that was substantiated by others with the same experience... the "Beware" section is full of it.

Normally the Mods have piped in on the reason for the ban by now.....

Guess what I like is you can sport a F U joe biden flag 😂 and not get questioned but post your opinion on a joe smo you get the boot. There should be more than one moderator that agrees to ban someone especially someone who’s been an ongoing member for so many years. JMO. Maybe there is I don’t know!

Wait what…he got banned for that post?!?! comical

:lolhit:

There’s another member that’s called Manning trailers a bunch of names this week. Don’t think he got banned.

Lol, I knew that was going to happen. I just wanted to show the transformation of Carpe Diem ie. Smokin"
I'm sure Kvogt and company started it.

Yeh, maybe hide the post and pm poster to discuss at first vs quick automatic ban.

So much cancel culture right now. Sled forum i was on hired a new admin (not into motorsports) and banned a dozen people and mods in one night. Jeezus. Blew the site apart. Half if what it was just like that. :(

this site has been going downhill for a while i think us old school guys ought to think of creating our own site .......does anyone really know why the member was banned it makes no sense ?

This sure went to $hit in a hurry ... LOL. My tech friend is checking with Johnson to see if we can get a jobber price on a couple sets. I will call Bob T also to get his input. I have purchased stuff over the years from them and Bob is always helpful.

looks like a response to a post that no longer exists

I dont visit here much these days. Mainly because my hobbies have shifted and I sold my boat a few years ago.

Oso used to be great. The tech conversations were always fun, informative, and interesting. That being said, this site appears to be on life support. They banned one of the handful of members that actually contributed, over what? That P.O.S. salesman who made a living off members of this site for more than a decade?

What real tech info did that guy offer here? (Bob). Unless it was some useless part number he took from a catalog , that was about it. Any of the cool threads, like efi, forced induction stuff, rigging , he had nothing to add. Which is understandable because he knows nothing and does nothing besides sells parts. His website still has a laundry list of services that he does NOT perform.

Pretty sure the oso moderator who banned icdedppl, got beat up alot as a kid. Hope my old oso pals are doing well and enjoying life!

Hey MT joe back in the house. Good to hear from you and hope all is going well. Sorry to see your hobbies shift but hey that’s life. Take care.

Thanks John. Not a bad thing, been enjoying the classic car scene, took up golf this past summer, stuff like that. Still working on some boat stuff. Have a friend of mines 612ci 8.3L whipple efi engines in my shop right now getting some upgrades.

Maybe someday get back into boating, but for now, enjoying the less stressful, less expensive hobbies. 😅

Many of us miss your great threads and posts!
