Schubeck lifters

This is not always true. Some of these lifters were crap when they left the manufacturers. The Schubeck lifters that came apart last year were junk from the start but only two people knew that, Schubeck and Smith. Apparently, Joe had a ton of pucks all set up and received a batch of lifters with ID's that very a tad to big to get the correct press fit when installing the pucks. No problem. Joe had the remedy. Loctite! That's right he put a bunch of those lifters together with Loctite. I checked my broken lifters after hearing this bit of news and sure enough there was a flattened patch of Loctite inside. And from what I was told it's the closed pressure that presents the biggest problem for any lifter - no matter the brand.
