I ran Crower HIPPO lifters for many years, changing them out at each freshen. Never a problem.

One season I tried to save a few bucks and used Comp Cams lifters. Lost on in August of their first season, and had to tear everything down for cleanup.

I now use the bushed lifters rather than those with needle bearings. I have Isky .842 in one engine and Crower Enduramax .937 in the other. The Iskys went 2.5 seasons before a freshen, and I put them back in where they have run another season. I haven't made enough passes with the Crower to say anything either way, but so far so good.
