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.

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