Lunati roller lifters?

Post by rskrause »

Anyone ever use the Lunati solid roller lifters? They look identical to Comps lifters and are much less expensive.

If you're looking for cheap, the main-stream stuff is OK.

If you're looking for a LOT more durability than pretty much everything else that's available at a cost that is between that of a Crower and a Jesel, call Rich at (919)-464-6215 and get a set of CamFX lifters.

Has anyone actually used the Lunati's? They really are relatively inexpensive and if they are decent may be a true bargain.

I am running the lunati pressure fed solids. They are Morel, at least that is what Steve told me. These are the lifters that I have, I think they were like 550-600, cant remember. I just took them out of the block yesterday to look everything over after a 2000mile trip in 6days with the Power tour.....lifters still look brand new!!!!!!!

Update to this old thread: I have been using the Lunati lifters and in my bracket motor (relatively low stress) they have been fine. I am using the original set again this year as I could find nothing wrong with them on close inspection.
