I take every lifter apart and check it no matter where it comes from.youd be surprised what you find in there some times.
"A tiny little piece of Jimmy Hoffa in every lifter!" -Wow, did NOT expect that to be there!

Unfortunately, with the link bar style lifters I've been using, disassembly isn't possible as the rivet prevents the innards from being removed.
Damn. That disappearing edit feature can be embarrassing at times.

Thoughts on the Morel Lifters?
I'm sure this will ruffle a few feathers but with the thousands of Morel lifters I've sold to customers, only two sets were sent back for issues. The first set was a street set and the second was a high RPM set. Turns out both were due to installation error. Link bar was installed towards the block so the rivet was damaged and the other set was loaded with RTV...
.... Awaiting the wraith of the haters.
"Quality" is like buying oats. You can pay a fair price for it and get some good quality oats,
or you can get it a hell of a lot cheaper, when it's already been through the horse.
Check the link-bar rollers, too. We found part of a set (no name) in which the rivit staking was barely visible and the rivit could be pushed out by hand. One popped loose on the dyno which led to this post. Now I really don't trust anyone! (Well, maybe Mike at Bullet.....)

I think most of the complaints are how noisy they are, not the lifter itself.

Back when Isky ran out of the Hyd VW lifters he ws quoted 50,000 for minimum order.
Needless to say no more Hyd VW lifters since.
If someone is not ordering in quantity they are just reboxing or an in-house rebuild programme
Is anyone hand tweeking lifters these days?
I have Redline reface my old school lifters, I buy up every hyd/solid vintage Chevy lifter I can get my hands on.
Racing a NA NHRA stocker should be mandatory before any posting.
