BBC roller lifters
I want to change out my Morel lifters because they pour oil out of a small h0le in the bottom of the roller next to the wheel. Talking to Morel they say that's build a film/wave of oil between the lobe and the roller. I prefer not to have controlled oil leaks, especially right above the rotating assembly.

The only lifters I can find quickly is the Isky RedZone lifters.
My understanding is the RedZone lifters are in the higher level of endurance and quality. Still true or ...?

So you've had good luck with the Isky RedZone lifters?

Very good personal luck with their lifters. I would not hesitate to put them in another motor

He's being a little slippery confirming Red Zone's.

Just looked at Reher-Morrison's 583ci, 1195hp, 12* and they spec ".904″ Isky Red Zone “Centered” Roller Lifters".

I have had good luck with the EZ-MAX bushed lifter. I believe that the Red-Zone is still a needle bearing roller.

To answer the original question---YES. I have them in a Reher-Morrison 540. Rebuilt once and still going.

I used Isky red zone needle bearing .842" diameter lifters and never had any issues

Had them converted to bushed type and also no issues....

BAM Bushed rollers for the win. Check with some of the big name engine builders, they may have what you need in stock and ready to ship.

Dave,

If you use the Bam lifters be very careful that you have the pushrods seated fully in the lifter cup. They are made differently than other lifters.
