Lifters

Hi All,
I own a na6 track car, which gets a hard time.
Anyway, I replaced the lifers because of the rattles etc, with ebay units brought on line from the states. About $100 + shipping.
Which where working as they should.
But.... I've just had a roll cage installed, so the car hasn't been running for a month, started her up. Ticking noise, went for a run, then it started to sound really bad. Got her home thinking the worst. May be a valve etc.
After lifing out the 3th or 4th hyd lifter. Bingo, the lifter fell to bits in my hands.
Any way didn't feel like get new units from the usa. I rung REPCO, thinking I was going to get rapped, was quoted $5 each. So went around picked them up, they looked like much better quality as well. Installed running sweet again.
So for $80 job is a good'n. I guess sometimes the internet is not always the best option.

So for lifers REPCO seems the go!

Perhaps this will get you rapped?

I can vouch the repco ones too. I bought mine from them (similar price) and have replaced my old noisy lifters (which atleast 4 had failed nearly simultaneously) just over 12 months ago. 25,000km later, they are all still quiet.
