Re: Schubeck lifters
We had SM Lifters (not Schubecks), a puck got scared of 9K+ rpms and decided to leave, did a fair bit of damage. This was at a pro's shop being dynoed when it occurred.
Rights springs, right everything, lifter just flat out failed. Cost a bunch to fix it all.... |

Re: Schubeck lifters
I was at a dyno session with a new 426 max wedge. 5th or 6th pull there was a quick miss in the engine and immediately the engine was shut off. Completely destroyed the new maxie. Needed new pistons and a complete rebuild. A puck had come off one of the new lifters. I would not use them, but many racers have had good luck with them. Good luck to you! Dyno

Re: Schubeck lifters
Jim, I have been running them for years with no problems. Installed 5 or 6 cams and ran them flat out.

Re: Schubeck lifters
Schubeck lifters.... Buyers beware, A large number of racers have ran them with NO problems, However if they fail they take a lot of good parts with them . Risk vs. Reward ? .....M.J.

Re: Schubeck lifters
We have had a bunch of trouble with them......Smith's too!
I have several near new sets of Smith's Hyd. and the punks can be removed easily by pulling them out of housing. i am scared to use them. Can the punks be safely glued back in? I am scared to try....... Smith's never answers the phone or returns my calls. Apparently my business means less than nothing to them.....In last 10 to 15 years I have bought no less than 12 sets. they were better when I first started to use them and got them from Schubeck right at his shop in Vegas. Of nearly a dozen sets........About 4 sets broke!! |
Re: Schubeck lifters
We have never hurt a Schubeck without another failure coming first. However, the first and only business dealing I had with Schubeck was very bad. That said, we/I have not run any of Smith's, but a lot of people I know who are extremely well versed in Stock Eliminator engines have lost Smith's lifters, not likely through any fault of anything but the lifter. Had even worse dealings with PPPC. That's the reason I use and sell Trend tool steel lifters now, after nearly 4 years of selling more than two dozen sets as a small low volume dealer, I've not had anyone complain of a failure, and most have bought more than one set.
