Sorry, been out of contact for a while. The engine needed a rebuild, and I hated to do it, but I sent the Johnson lifters that came in the block to Patricks in Casa Grande AZ, and he didn't recommend re-using them. The solids he sold me are adjustable and have 4 diagonal veins. I don't know if those are for lubrication, pinning them in for adjustment, or appearance (genuine, simulated hollow???) so I'll still be drilling the block

To answer flatjack, I can't say 100% what I've got or where they were made because the solids came in a plain white box as part of a complete rebuild kit. In Patricks catalog they advertise all Isky valve train parts.

Now, what's with the shit-eatin' grins by JWL and Pete??? C'mon guys, spill.
