DLC coating on the lifter face, thus keeping costs down. We have had so many issues where I work with soft lifters and lifters with no crown. We were able to be a large inventory of the old Delphi lifters when we heard that they were discontined. At one time I think we had close to 8000 lifters but once word got out they sold out. It's kind of sad but I have a few friends that have Rockwell tester and we batch test most of our lifters now. The new Comp lifters fill a demand out there. We have about 25 sets left right now. Supply isn't supposed to be a problem.

Wow, I stand corrected. That's just a crazy price. Hard to find a set of UNCOATED lifters at that price. Loss leader for them? Trend DLC around $2k?

How much for a set of Delphis?

I'd like to know where the lifters are manufactured, China, Mexico, or USA - I know there's no way they will tell who coats them.

Mnmaxwedge, please provide some contact information. I’ll take two sets. Pm me if you want.
Thanks!

If it quacks like a duck.

So ,my kid tells me not to start any **** on this forum but I just can't resist this one since I am just a dumb former metallurgical researcher who developed metals for the space program so having said that I'm thinking maybe they should offer one free grade point with each set of lifters and a free subscription to MAD magazine and not even consider that the machines that it takes to apply DLC to a piece of metal cost about $250,000 each. It uses a process called PVD or plasma vapor deposition and just a little bit of technical knowledge to run the dang thing so this just seems like somebody's worried about competition in the marketplace, too late welcome to America .And yes this might be tongue in cheek for youse people who actually read mad mag.

Risk a real race engine on this? I doubt it.
Nothing to see here, move along...

That is the 812 (Non-coated) what I asked about is the 812D.

Wasn't responding to a question. Just showing some common lifter prices.

The price is low because they make it up on volume 😄
