Lifter question
Changing cams and have 23k miles on current lifters. Was looking at the Jonhson V2313 lifters and saw they offered a 2313s and 2313se version for heavy springs. I just got some heads with .600 springs and plan on running cams with .575 lift - should I get the upgraded lifters or is this unnecessary for the springs and cams I plan on using? Thanks.

Used Johnson Hylift 2313SE lifters from AMS in my latest 95" build. Never a click or noise from them from first startup to today, when the new motor turned over 1000 miles. Made a believer out of me.
Read all of the threads about lifter issues on the forums. Not a good place to cut corners.

My understanding is the v-2313 is a good lifter. I don't have a problem upgrading to the s or se version - just wanted to make sure they are even appropriate for my build. What kind of springs and cams are you running with the se lifters? Is there any downside to a lifter having to little leak down if used with too light a spring?

Using AV&V .650" lift beehive springs and Crane 296 cams. There is no downside to using a better lifter and the SE has a ring groove and improved valving to provide more consistent oil flow to the top end.

Oem lifters work very well but if you feel the need to replace use S&S and install the HL2T shims, you will not believe the ease of hot restarts. One thing to note is that not all pushrods ball ends at the lifter match . some are larger and some are smaller. I would definitely match the manufacturer to both lifter and Pushrod. I was using Revtech adjustables and you should have seen what it did to the ball on the pushrods. Never could get rid of the noise till Scott gave me new S&S adjustables. Quiet as a church mouse...with woods cams.....
