hughes roller lifters?

[10secBEE]

 Has anyone tried the Hughes hydraulic roller lifters yet? Just wondering on the quality. They are about $175 cheaper than comp cams or the scorpions. http://www.hughesengines.com/Index/products.php?browse=category&level0=QmlnIEJsb2NrICA0MTMtNDI2LTQ0MCAoUmFpc2VkIERlY2sp&level1=TGlmdGVycw==&partid=26197   Thanks

I did, they were recalled 4 months after I bought them (thankfully before I finished assembly)
They fit very tightly in the bore on most. The comp cams hydraulic rollers I installed fit like a dream, so its no wonder they were recalled. I'm not sure if they have fixed their problem or not, but that's my only experience.

After a few cam failures I was considering the switch to a roller setup. I just cant stomach the $1000 buy in though.

 Yep thats why I decided to go roller. I didn't want to have to tear the motor back apart if the cam went south. Plus the added power doesn't hurt either.  I guess I'll go with the Scorpion lifters since I've only heard good things about their hydraulic rollers. Thanks

I've got the comp cams in mine, 1 year and 4,000 miles on the motor so far and making just over 400 at the rear wheels. Doing fine

I've also got one season in on mine. It's a Comp XR286, so far no problems and the engine is quieter than the Xtreme energy hydraulic flat tappet that it replaced. (which btw lost a lobe shortly after break-in)

 Purple68, Thats the cam I plan on running. How do you like it ? Good Power? Also what cam button and timing chain cover did you use. Thanks
