Did you use them? Did they work?

I also ordered LIF1122 from RockAuto.com, which listed them as a direct replacement. When I pulled out the old lifters I noticed LIF1122 were shorter and the grooves don't line up.

The outside of the lifter doesn't get longer though. The outside case of the replacement lifter is shorter than the stock one. When you drop the replacement in the block, it sits deeper into the lifter hole than the stock one did.

if the lifter body is shorter but the inside part where the pushrod sits is higher up, i dont think there would be a problem. but i dont know for sure

Yea me either. I just wanted to see what others have done before I put the head on. I'd hate to have to pull the head off again after I figure out they're no good.
