Default Lifter brand replacement
Doing a budget top end rebuild on a used motor I bought and contemplating replacing the lifters while I have the head off. (Previous owner said they intermittently had a lifter tick.. they all do as far as I know)
Anyway, just wondering on thoughts about replacing the lifters and if so, any particular brand I should buy?

I was thinking the same thing, Sealed Pro but not sure what’s made in the US anymore. Definitely going to take some research.
