Schubeck lifters

I have an old set of Schubeck lifters in one of my engines. They work fine. Then I built another engine and used Smith lifters and on the nInth run I broke two lifters, which caused severe damage to the block and 4 Pistons. From that moment on, Smith lifters was never to be used again. From now on I use tool steel coated lifters. They will not come apart and destroy the engine. I cannot imagine how anyone would take a chance on using a part in their engine that so many people had trouble with. Some people never have trouble with them.
