Re: Comp Cams DLC Hydraulic Flat Tappet Lifter
Just received my new set of solid SBC flat tappet lifters in the mail yesterday. With shipping just under $170. Even etched “made in the USA” on each lifter.

Re: Comp Cams DLC Hydraulic Flat Tappet Lifter
The part # is 812D-16. That means a set of 16. I don't know where you come up with your price. Keep in mind that these lifters only have the
DLC coating on the lifter face, thus keeping costs down. We have had so many issues where I work with soft lifters and lifters with no crown. We were able to be a large inventory of the old Delphi lifters when we heard that they were discontined. At one time I think we had close to 8000 lifters but once word got out they sold out. It's kind of sad but I have a few friends that have Rockwell tester and we batch test most of our lifters now. The new Comp lifters fill a demand out there. We have about 25 sets left right now. Supply isn't supposed to be a problem. |

Yes -16 normally means a set of 16. But where ever they have shown the lifter it doesn't say set. He came up with $1920 if the listed price is only for one lifter. Stan |

If this is the case, it kills the argument or agenda for roller cams. On another note, I wonder with a cheap alternative like that, if it would bring the other manufacturers price down to a more competitive level?

Wow, I stand corrected. That's just a crazy price. Hard to find a set of UNCOATED lifters at that price. Loss leader for them? Trend DLC around $2k? How much for a set of Delphis?

Re: Comp Cams DLC Hydraulic Flat Tappet Lifter
I'd like to know where the lifters are manufactured, China, Mexico, or USA - I know there's no way they will tell who coats them.
