Johnson or not, I don't think Randy is here to push his product but to offer factual advice from a person who engineers lifters for a living and has more experience then most here doing it, I don't want this to turn into a pizzing match and Randy shuts down offering info that he has seen, that being said I have talked to him many times just like others here and I like the fact he's clearing up info that he see's.
I am not trying to say one lifter is better then any other, I had Gm lifters live just fine also and some guys don't like that setup with dog bone, my old engines had really crappy ERSON rockers that seen a lot of abuse, PBM ones also, .080 pushrods... And it was all fine... No .700 wheel issues, no valve train problems, no broken parts... Just trying to learn and figure out my issues, Randy felt a need to clear things up, where's Bob? And others with advice? I think it's the Oso we wanna get back to... Guys in the industry offering advice and factual advice at that.

It was nice having someone from Johnson on here for 2:43. Engineer no less ? He probably just left for dinner, he'll be right back.

I get what your saying Joe, but it's a tough spot when some of them rely on people buying stuff for a job too. I would not expect Randy or kip, or AFR to say anything besides what pertains to them only. That's probably a huge reason he didn't post until now and still keeping it as a lifter thing nothing else, we all know pretty much why the general consensus is on what part of the issue is if not all of it.

Your problem here is that your blocks are not thermally stable -BHB
See he chimed in.
Stabilize your blocks dummy.
NEXT!

So , you have every answer on what it ISNT, but cant say what it IS? I thought you have yet to recieve the lifters from tim, but how do you know the bearings arent showing signs of heat ?
Im pretty sure you know the answer, or have a strong opinion on what caused it. But, saying it, might cost you some sales .
Just what oso needs, more sales guys and politics. Did you dogn up here to give tech insight, or just to tell everyone how superior your product is?
