I started a thread on this last year,but it is closed to further replies.
Anyhow,I was looking at a set of Isky's latest design bushed lifters with the Helix option;
So after a pretty good winter at work,with few days off,I decided it was time for new lifters.
I emailed Mike "Wolfplace" Lewis a couple of weeks ago and he quoted me a price.
I was in the bush at the time but the first day out I went to the bank and sent a global money transfer to Mike.
My new Isky EZ Roll Helix bushed solid roller lifters should be here next week !!
The exchange rate wasnt very good,but I said the heck with it,I want them LOL
My current lifters are 5 years old and probably have close to 20,000 miles on them.
I dont want to take a chance on them breaking down like the previous ones did and ruin my engine.

Isky always had great product and service.

My Grandfather use to be good friends with Ed and run all his prototype camshafts, blow up and report back to him!!

I bet that your grandfather is an interesting man,as I'm sure that Ed Iskenderian is as well.
Mike Lewis recommends the Isky lifters,and I know that he wouldnt steer me in the wrong direction.
He was very impressed with the mileage that I got out of my first set of the Isky bushed solid roller lifters.
At 25,000 + miles,Mike thought that I had got double what he the expected life span was.
