Junk is junk no doubt. I focus on lifters maybe a little more than I should but it’s because I hear about so many engine failures caused by them. I have really no problem with any type of lifter, you just have to use the right lifter in the right kind of build. I don’t put solid rollers and 800lbs of spring over the nose of a daily driver and I don’t expect a juice lifter to run out to 8000 rpm. They all can work when applied correctly.
