Hi "GB", speaking strictly from a business standpoint here with having to stand 100% behind every build we deliver, I would give you this advice, "TOSS THEM NOW" or you may just spend the rest of your life working over them!!

This is just my take on this subject, those adjusters take a real pounding over time!! In all my years of dealing with the original "Johnsons" I've never had a single bad piece show up (new) or a single return on a build, ever!

It's NOT worth the risk, believe me!

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. Another "tip" for all, under no circumstances should anyone buy/use any lifters referred to as "Johnson-Style" tappets. I don't care where they are claimed to be mfd, I would NOT install a single one of these in any unit built here. On a side note, the overall "weight" of the original "Johnson's" in almost any street-build is a moot point, it has NO adverse affect if the unit is built correctly. We had them in a Louden (roundy-round) unit running constantly at/above 5000 RPM. Never missed a beat!
