I just went through a bad set of roller lifters. The Melling lifters were perfect. Just get a new set and be done with it. Don't get cheap china ones!

I thought about getting the auto zone melling brand. Heard they were ok if you check them out well before you install them

Hey Vile, did you soak those in oil before install or just dropped them in?

Dip them in oil or assembly lube. Never soak lifters.

One of the lifters I picked up had very small Mars on the side I think it’s ok to run but what you think? It’s a smooth mar and doesn’t protrude from the body.

If the small mar bothers you Good or Bad, don't chance it - exchange it.

Dang, kind of want to run it I’m outside of Phoenix and the Autozone I found these Mellings in is about 30 minutes out. Probably better off swapping it though.

Is this a factory roller cam block or a retrofit roller cam?

It’s factory. Block came out of a 99 suburban. I switched the cam to a GM performance ramjet cam when it was built for the second time.

Source of the knock. Guess I can return the lifters I bought.
