I have and they are difficult to compare because they all work the same and until they fail you can't know how good they are, if you replace them at the recommended service interval you will never know how long they may have lasted.

Johnson are OEM for Chevy and some others...probably Harley at some point in time.

I used them in my recent build, and several others on here have used them as well.
No complaints from me, nor have I heard or saw any negative experiences.

They are the supplier to most north american everything.
Best price and best quality oem.
As Spanners says ., replace them at intervals because if they go bad they will take out your entire motor.!
