Roller Lifters
Looking for some input here from engine gurus on replacement roller lifters. When replacing roller lifters in a Gen VI motor, what are your preferences? A lot of pretty parts out there, but a lot are imports and do not hold up and contribute to trashed motors. Pulling top end off in the next week or 2 and inspecting lifter, springs etc for wear. I've even heard of bushing rollers, instead of needle bearing and wonder what is preferred or what you are using that holds up.

If your going shopping for lifters, this would be a good Boxing Day read:

Been following that post. It is long and drifted off to fuel ratio and away from the failing lifter, which is where it started. Lifters were part of the chain of events, but I caught that the fuel ratio started the meltdown and then everything else followed suit.

Are you looking for a tie-bar lifter or dog bone style

Assuming my day does not go to (TIHS) tomorrow like the past several days. I will get the intakes off and take a look. Also working on rear brakes on my 32 Ford Street Rod. Which has also become a major pita.
