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.)

I know its beating a dead horse but if the valve spring rule had never been changed to any pressure the lifter problem and cost would not be there. 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.

I've been running/using my Schubek lifters for quite a few years now,never a problem.

Glenn Briglio · 11-21-2009, 08:24 PM

There were many problems with the Schubeck lifters. I've sold about 50 sets of the Smith lifters with zero failures to date. I would like to hear of any problems with the Smith lifters.

Tool steel lifters are sold by Ferrea, Performance Research Incorporated, and Precision Performance Products.
