Who makes the best Std size BBC lifters?

[Tom Goldman]

Carl, you're correct on the lifter clearance with Comp 819 lifters......Usually .003"+ clearance on a stock block.
The Comp 819's are really good for the money ,but I'd definately have the bores trued oversize for either .874" or .904"
I recently changed a set of Morells and found the circlip groove was chipping away on several lifters. ....First time I've seen it happen on them.
I have a set of Comp Elite lifters for a Comp engine I'm doing, very nice pieces with extreemly large axles that are double pinned in place.

And guys wonder why they have lifter issues as most guys dump roller lifters in the bores with out checking the bore clearance and wonder why they looked scuffed or why they break.

Jesel lifters by far are the best out there. I like the DLC coating and push rod oiling is better. Though they run small but like I have said lifters have to be measured and fit to the bores, 90% of my builds I use a the .904 lifters. Bigger body, bigger wheel and axel and is much stronger then any .842 lifter out there.
