Official GMM hand model
Well, I asked why you would use clevite or Melling lifters and the few that answered said Clevite. So I looked at both of them really closely and took them to work and asked several well respected gear heads which one they would use. Hands down it was Clevite just by the looks. I didn't tell them which was which. I even weighed both of them and found this. The Clevite with the roller bearing pins weighed 142 grams and the Melling with the bushed roller pin weighed 144 grams. Not a lot but just the way the Clevite are made helped sell me. I really wanted other eyes looking at them so its Clevite for many good teasons and I'll be selling the Melling on Ebay in the future. Kinda makes me feel like I'm selling autolite glow plugs on Ebay....
