Default Roller lifter question

Has anyone got any experience with Cat roller lifters?

I found these on Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33614

Do you have to bush the lifter bores with these?

Thanks!!

If you pay a workers one year salary for a set of lifters, they can't be bad!

LOL, depending on what there salary is in what country.....

Heard bad things about cheap products.....pay for what you get sometimes. I'll pay the American worker there fee for quality parts. I'm kind of done fooling around. I guess it gets that way when you get older. Your not so happy doing a tranny on your back anymore.

Default Getting older

Rumblefish,

where I sit at age 51, I am not sure that 38 qualifies as getting older!!

I could only wish to trade ages with you!!!!

By the way, I appreciate all the wisdom that you bring to these forums!

LOL @ eckertt & Dick;

Voice activated control is me yelling at my kids to change the channel.

38 is not old by 99% of us , myself included, but I pay atten; to the older and wiser. Thanks for the comploment. I went from doing tranny swaps in about 2 hours to 8 hours and not finishing. I can't afford the time and backachs anymore.

Produce a better mouse trap, and I'll PAY!!!!

As long as you charge per hour, that shouldn't make things a lot worse

I think it would depend on what you want them to do. If your running triple springs and .750 lift cam I'd go with a proven product. Maybe on a low lift .550 type street cam they'd be fine. I got a set of new Crane hydraluic lifters on eBay for $225. For the record I'm running Cat rockers. No not the unbushed ones!
