I read in the "changing your lifters" thread that after market lifters are apparently rubbish and basically shatter and fcuk your head however lately ive been hearing of a few people using these with good results was there like a defect with them and now its been corrected? and are these any good?

yeah man got them in my car got my blocks all machined and **** the shop is right near preston auto and diffs working a treat

how much are they?

They chew up camshafts, They are not hard enough in the surface. Ive seen a few that have damaged cams so personally I wont use them.

factory are good just pull them down properly and give them a real good clean make sure you take good care of the ballbearing because thats wat most forget, little bit of oil on reasemble and back together

is it just me that "borrows" sets from the wreckers when i go ?

what brand are the after market ones?

I go up to pay and the guy was like 'oh that was a running engine, you should of taken it off the dead engine area (all standard VL 'Holden' ones)... he got a little angry and told one of his workers to replace the cover with one of the holden ones... I promptly paid and never went back Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
