Over the years I've used Ultradyne ( long time ago, now Bullet), Crane, Isky and Harold's (supposedly Morel?). I've had the best success with Crane and Isky (red zone needle).

I'm not seeing any love for Johnsons. Are they just currently out of favor now?

I believe Ed morel held the patent on bushed lifters way back in the late 70's or early
80's.

I've never used their solids. I have a few friends who used their hydraulics without any issues.

Crower 66291H, .782 lift, 1000lb springs 7500RPM, changed them at 100 hours just because.
Crower 66291H, .782 lift, 725lb springs 6500RPM, changed them at 200 hours just because. Both sets were fine when removed.

Both sets were .742

I haven't tried them myself but I've heard the Crower's are some of the best.

The supercat engine we took apart had solid crower rollers on a 55mm cam. Odly enough, they were .842 diameter.

I sold them on eBay as I had no idea how much time they had on them and I wanted to use a .903 solid roller.

I bought morel as they are local to me and Ed was present at the machine shop when the bushed bores were opened up for the bigger lifters.
Dyno time only so far
