This is NOT a bad experience post. Just wondering if anyone has bought anything from them. They/him have many listings of new and used parts and a lot of flathead parts. I've looked at their hollow adjustable lifters, even contacted them about if they've ever had hardness issues, was told NO, have sold over 200 sets and use them in the engines THEY BUILD. So, just interested if anyone has done business with them. Thanks.

No business with them, but they have excellent feedback. 58 recent feedback left on the item you're looking at. All positive reviews left except for 1 negative with no comments or reason given. Have been on eBay since 1999. Says they're on holidays until July 30th.

Couldn't find any name on ebay like that, is there a link to post? Some use the Johnson name when advertising their lifter as "johnson style" which can be misleading. Of course they will say NO when you ask that question, if there's a problem, it's easy to push off to installation not being correct.

I bought JOHNSON hollow lifters three years ago from H/H flathead. They came in the box that had the johnson logo/name on it.

Lucky you

. I saw on H&H website that adjustable lifters were on b/o so I asked Mike when they might be back in stock and he said he had no idea. Makes me wonder what they're using in all the engines they're building.

Gary from Long Island ("GOSFAST"), said he was able to get the original Johnson Lifters from the original source up until he passed, a few years ago. Does anyone know if this is still true? You may want to check some of his old posts. (I don't know, as I have decided to use genuine stock non-adjustable Ford lifters on all my builds for a number of reasons.)
