Well I've got 15 of them , and the tool steel lifters coated are 1200 bucks. I've also heard that the tool steel coated lifters round cams off and the coating is peeling off ,so I have no idea what to do. I have a billet cam so there isn't many choices. Was hoping some more guys would chime in on this one. I'm not afraid to run the schubeck style with the spring pressure I'm running. I've heard the failure in this style lifter is valve float and a valve lash getting loose. But I have really no experience with these lifters so thats just what I've heard. I know a bunch of people have copied this style lifter so I was trying to find out what style I might have. I'm also not opposed to buying the coated tool steel ,but for 1200 bucks I want to know its gonna work and not round my 550 cam off lol.
