The original poster said the lifters he used were Johnson,These was Morel and Eaton roller lifters. If you consider the companies cheap then so be it. The Morels was $440 retrofit lifters. One of the morels would not pump up. The Eatons clattered like crazy upon start up no matter the adjustment.
Hughes "retro fit" lifter not pumping up!
Sorry I thought you was referring to me.The original poster said the lifters he used were Johnson,
So let me get this straight.... I asked a question about hydraulic lifters in a Mopar friendly forum. Another member replies in a way that isn’t constructive or intelligent at all. I reply back the reason I went with a particular style of lifter. The other member calls me an idiot. You are a complete asshole and a disgrace to the community. You do not know me or what I have ever accomplished or built in my life. And to straight up call me an idiot when you can’t even answer a simple question? I think I may know who the idiot is here. So much for FABO being a fun place. I always recalled this place being a fun and knowledgeable crew. Oh well.

I would say that nowadays, I doubt there is any brand of lifter that isn’t going to have some failures.
This has probably always been the case, but 30-40 years ago there wasn’t any internet to access and get feedback from all over the world.
If your friends and the people you knew at the track weren’t having problems with something in particular........you just didn’t hear about it.
