We stopped using the Meyle lifters about a year ago due to quality issues. Two engines in one month with one or more failed Meyle lifters was all it took for us to spend the extra $'s.

I do sell both though: $19.44 for the Febi; $10.05 for the Meyle.

Cheers,

Any thought if the newer Febi design has less of a tendency to bleed down?

The Febi lifter changed it's design several years ago. They now have a small disc inside as the check valve. They also use a much beefier snap ring to hold the lifter together.

Let me know if I can help you further, Ken Wilford John 3:16 www.vanagain.com
