Schubeck Lifters
 

Well, not Schubecks legally anymore, however the same product, produced in the same way, by the same person who did them for the last ten years, is now available on a very limited basis. These lifters going to be sold under a different name, mostly through set up dealers only. We did a buy in September 2006, for 10 sets. I just received the remainder of my order. 50% of it has been sent out or is already in running engines.
I don't mean to try to sell on here, I just know that these lifters were the talk of this board over the winter, and I wanted to let people know that they are now available.
If anyone needs any of these lifters, please give me a call at the below number 8-5 M-F EST. I also have two sets on EBAY this week. Please don't call looking for a phone number to call, because I won't give it to you. Joe is out of the picture, and Bob doesn't really want to deal with the negative backlash or general public, at least for now. All that I can say is that this race flat and hydraulic lifter business has changed hands from Joe to his former general manager and that he looks to improve on the original design and the questionable business practices that we had became accustomed to. I have seen 10 sets and am happy with what I have received. Call or email with any questions.

Jeff: Are you and Harley going to Beech Bend?? Mike

Mike,
No, we can't make it. You will have to take all of the money!

PS. We are going to go to Toni's race next weekend in Columbus.

We now have one new set of Chevy hydraulics, NHRA stocker style lifter, in stock and ready to ship. They are currently on Ebay.

I'm looking for a few sets of schubeck hydraulic mopar lifters. Do you have any or will have any?

Jeff,

Does the new maker of theses lifters have a problem with bushed lifter bores? Schubeck used to tell racers that he would not stand behind his lifters if the racer had bushed lifter bores. I use Schubeck lifters and have bushed lifter bores. I have never had a problem. Do you know why he had a complaint about bushed lifter bores?

7426 ?/S? Well, it's still a stocker! No guts, no glory!

I have one set of sb mopar hydraulics on order, however they are paid for already. If you need any, please call me at (330) 456-3045.

I have not heard of any problem with bushed lifter bores, I know at least two cars running bushed lifter bores and Schubecks, with no problems for years.

As far as Joe, I guess that was/is my assumption, maybe not fact. I really don't know the whole behind the scenes story. I really have had no contact with him for a couple of months since he turned me over to Bob. Things have gone much smoother since that happened.

Jeff,

I have not heard of any problems with the lifter bores either. At one time, Joe was telling racers that the problem was their bushed lifter bores and not his broken lifters. Huh? The new maker of these lifters should tell us up front if he has a problem with bushed lifter bores.

Bruce, i have done a lot of engines with bushed lifter bores and Schubecks. no ptoblem. Yes Darren, Stock, it is legal!

I miss Buster Couch and Lex Dudas.

Thanks Woodro,

I'm not worried about the bushed lifter bores. I'm concerned about the excuse Joe used when people had trouble with his lifters, and whether or not the new folks are going to use the same excuse if problems occur with their lifters.

How about a set for a hydraulic Pontiac?

The story I have heard on the lifter bushings is that if you had them, that was the problem for the breakage because the lifter bores would tighten up, but if you didn't have them, that was also the problem because of the possibility of mis-alignment! Sooooo, we have 2 ways to lay the blame.
But seriously my experience with the Shubecks has been good. From what I have seen though there is no room for any mistakes, you loose a lifter and you loose the motor.

Thanks Jim,

A little double talk from old Joe. I hope the new guy does not follow in his foot steps.

my problem is that you were a dealer one time and the next time you ordered you wern,t what the hell !! I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE LIFTERS, BUT THE MANNER OF DOING BUSINESS WAS INCONSISTANT.. WHAT,S THE BIG SECRET ON THEIR PHONE NUMBER ?? arn,t they in business to sell lifters or are you the exclusive dealer ??? dennis 3332 i/sa

Joe Schubeck is still in the lifter business, I talked to him today and he is making liters again. I have sold several sets of Schubeck lifters , they are the best solution to prevent flattening a camshaft. I have lifter bushed many engines using Schubeck lifters and never had a problem.

Like I said, I don't know all of the behind the scene deal. I really doubt that more than the two or three people involved know the whole true story.
I have sent an email to Bob asking him his take on the bushed lifter bore deal. I will post his reply. They will post their contact information and phone numbers when they are ready for new business. Currently, it is dealers only, from what I have been told.
I am not an exclusive dealer, just one of the first to take a leap of faith and send a total stranger $6,000.00. They have in turn sent me 10 sets of lifters since mid March, and I have sold all but two sets. I still have one set of Chrysler solids, and one set of Ford hydraulics.
I inquired about Pontiacs, I will post that as soon as I know.

Jeff

I talked to Joe yesterday and he said all is well, keep selling lifters.

He said he would have a talk with the guy in Ohio.................

7426 ?/S? Well, it's still a stocker! No guts, no glory!

Guy in Ohio? What does he need to talk to him about?

Small block Chyrsler Hydraulics will be availabe this coming week. How many sets do you need? Call me and I will get you hooked up.
