Re: Schubek Lifters

Daryl Wikle is a rep for Smith. He provided mine two months ago. His number is 316-942-9500

Re: Schubek Lifters

Smith Machine out of Cedar City, Utah now is the builder of these lifters. My understanding is he is the old shop foreman when they were in vegas. Better buy a bunch because the quality control is even worse than before......First set two broken plungers and one bottom that came loose in first set I bought in first five runs!!!

Two engines, never put them in my car again! Use the steel billet or the ones with EDM and ramp up the spring pressure.

Re: Schubek Lifters

So have you had problems with the Schubeck or the Smith lifters?

Re: Schubek Lifters

I had Schubeck and I'm not say that they aren't a good product,but I still wouldn't take a chance on anything like them any longer. If you even chip one, get ready to take the motor out , buy new pistons and also reboring the block. Never mind all the other small parts you have to replace. (oil pump, camshaft, bearings, and on and on.)

NHRA should have just gone ot a standard pressure across the board for all models and brands of engines that would allow equal performance for everyone without the expense of using something like a Shubeck type lifter...... something around 150 lbs on the seat and 350 lbs open and these hi RPM shift points would go away (more savings) . Oh well then they would have to check valve spring pressures at tear down again. To much work I guess.

Yep ,Terry. Then you wouldn't need weldments added to the pushrod cup on OEM type rockers, only on certain brands.

So what we have is another Super Stock class with a tire size limit and spec cam lift. The heads are "almost" the same....lol.
