Ok I have searched this and still have not got good info. I am putting a cc306 and all else needed to support it, but what lifters? OEM or comp R.

 

I'd just go with New OEM's or keep your stockers. I had comp R's and 9 of them ended up having missing or cracked retaining clips. I'm not the only one here either there has been many people having this problem. Bret Bauer told me i could run OEM lifters with my cam and it has a lot more lift.

 

beehive springs and OEM replacement lifters.

 

what is your springs?? You should change your lifters according to your springs, but yes lots of people have trouble with R lifters.. You should go with OEM I think your springs aren't big for your cc306 cam..

 

and a rev-kit to protect lifter float

 

Yup, relatively cheap insurance.

 

shouldnt even consider any build without this. Hell of alot cheaper then all out replacement.

 

Not sure on the springs. The head builder is installing them. CNC heads in Florida is doing the work on the heads.

 

I'd recommend against Comp R lifters, see sig

 

lol great sign

 

Why compcams do not try to fix these new style R lifters.. They are really garbage..! People who have not a trouble with these lifters, use the old style R lifters,not new style!!!
If you got much spring pressure, get a set of MOREL lifters!!! Top notch quality lifters! (Also you will not need rev-kit)

 

Man...Im in the process of building a (built) nitrous 383...what lifters do yall recommend running? I was going to run the Comp R's but now seeing this I dunno anymore. Are there any difference in using OEM and Comp R's?

 

I've got a slightly used AFR Rev Kit w/ the install tool for sale. PM me if your interested.

 

My engine assembly is almost ready and unfortunately my engine builder used comp R lifters (it was my choice) .. Anyway if I got a problem (I think I will) I will change my springs and will get a set of beehives (26918) and comp OEM lifters (850-16) with an hydra rev kit..

My current springs have 160lbs close seat for that reason I couldn't use OEM lifters.. But beehive springs have 130lbs and have less weight,so OEM lifters will be the choice with beehive..

No R lifters, no trouble..
