Default Re: Who Sells The Best Adjustable Lifters?

I bought a set of made in the usa adjustable lifters from Dennis Carpenter two years ago. Recently decided to use them only to find out that some were so loose I could turn them with two fingers, while others were so tight it was difficult to turn them with a wrench. Disappointing to say the least. Talked to the folks at DC about them when I was there two weeks ago, and they said send them back for replacement or credit. Vern Tardel showed me his method for tightening them when I visited his shop several years ago, but my thinking is this should not be necessary with brand new parts right of of the box after paying a premium price for them. I wish now that I had ordered a set from Reds Headers like I did in 2006 for a 59a build.
