KE does a spray bar for the lifter valley that sprays on the lobes/lifters. I went to them three yerars ago and lifter failures went away. Even with Big Chief offset lifter. I can get over 100 hours on a set with 210 at the seat and .678 lift/254/262 at .050.

Re: Roller lifters input
At what HP level are you guys playing at? I guess I am asking at what point does one need to be concerned with going to high end lifters? Is it more on the lift you are running or RPM or spring pressure. I have 300hrs on the crane lifters in the motors I am freshening now, yes solid set up, however low lift by comparison. I am getting different suggestions as well some say go hydraulic set it and forget it but I really don't mind setting lash every now and then.
If you were >700hp >.650 lift natural asp. is there any need to spend the coin on high end lifters?

I believe they have the HPPO option too.

I had them put bushing in my block back in 99 and was real happy with there quality of work. The owner's son is somewhat opinionated, but they do a nice job.

Yes they have .903
I personally have never used them, but they have a great design and are lightweight.

Re: Roller lifters input
Johhny, I also went to valve spring sprayers and it did a nice job in extending the life of my Jesel rockers. I spoke with a co that did some testing with the Schubeck's a couple years ago and all was fine providing you didn't let the spring pressure get to low allowing lifter float as apparently the coating on the face of the lifter can chip and all heck breaks loose....so i was told. In drag race where they stay on top of spring pressures they do a very good job....so they said.
