Solid roller lifters

Which ones and why,?  for all out drag.

Crower HIPPO.  They last longer than the others I've tried, although I have not yet tried any of the bushed lifters.

WoW. Very nice pieces. .
I should have been more clear though. No pressurized oiling.  Oil galleys plugged. Standard rocker oiling system. I had a couple comp lifters crack and one fail at the roller axle.  Went to a set of crane classics after that and didn't have an issue although they only had about 20 passes on them. I was looking at the crane ultra pro, are there any morel or crower that are along the same lines especially as these. ? Either way it's as chunk of change so I just wanted to get some of you guys opinions.
Also has anyone had a roller cam repaired, ? Such as that lobe damage in my other post  ? Oregon cams clames to be able to do tat kinda work with a pretty quick turn around..
Again just like some opinions. .

You can buy the Crowers without the HIPPO option if you don't have oiling to the lifter bores.  Still excellent parts, much better than Comp I think.

I have had a couple of solid roller cams reground to take out minor scoring or other damage, never any issue with that.  My guess would be that for the most part, you'd have to send the cam to the manufacturer and see if they were able to repair it.  If the damage is deep I'd guess they would want to weld and then regrind the lobe.  I don't see why that wouldn't be possible.  But then you are trading off the cost of the repair and the reduced base circle size against the cost of a new cam.  Might just be better to go with the new cam...

thanks Jay, i was kinda wondering about the cost of repairs, i know the roller cams have become very pricey but still if it cost half the price and then shipping back and forth as well as time, it could be best to just get a new piece.
ill look more into the crower lifters, i just get kinda frustrated trying to do that kinda stuff on my phone, as always thanks for the info.

Morel bushed.  I use them in my race stuff.  Not cheap, little under $1000, but extremely tough and should last forever.

I went with the crower 66216's . I think they will work nicely.
Now for a cam, haveta pull that trigger soon.
