Default 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.

J.R.

The ones that are good enough that they can make a living at it. When I crewed on roundy round cars. I made money. Not much but at least I wasn’t spending my money. Don’t get me wrong. I love it. But if we’re honest. We’re all either crazy or dumb.

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.

If you put the Comp Cam part # in a Google search, you will find a bunch of sites that sell these that say "Set of 16" A call to Comp.Cams will verify this.
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?

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.
