If the lifters don't work out through eBay let me know. I have a new set of Lunati 71817's.

Proform can be hit or miss. I wouldn't use their rockers or any internal parts but I'd use a shift light or something like that.

Well I recieved the new lifters the other day. They were packaged very nicely this time in foam and they all thank god look Perfect! Im still skeptical of using them but they have no knicks of any kind and look good so what do you guys think?

being enveloped in foam is nice... do they have a slight coating of oil on them? if not, get out the wd-40 immediately. it's a tough call using something that may be suspect, like with from this guy. he seems shady, even though he replaced the lifters kind of quickly.

i say give them a try. unfortunately, by the time you are ready to start this beast, your time to file a dispute will have passed. so, you won't be able to do anything about the lifters if any of them turn out to e 'bad'.
