I had my 8BA engine for my F1 rebuilt by a local engine rebuilder. Shortly after the warranty ran out a lifter started tapping, then another. When we tore it down one lifter tappet had backed off an 1/8 inch and I could turn it with two fingers. I don't want to do this again so in your opinion who sells the best adjustable lifters

Thanks to all that responded. Now I have another question, Solid or Hollow? There is a price difference, regardless, I want the ones that are best for my application, a stock engine. I don't want to go down this road again.

Thanks so much for your input!
