So, its this way. I bought both Clevite and Melling lifters for my 7.3. I couldn't pass up the price. The Clevite lifters have roller bearings on the roller and a small pin. The Melling have the roller riding on a bushing and has a much larger pin holding the roller. The Clevite has a larger cup for the pushrod and a larger oil hole in it than the Melling. I know the roller bearing lifter roller will have less friction and surface coverage but better friction reduction and the Melling lifter will have more friction on the roller but better bearing surface contact able to spread the load better than the roller bearings on the Clevite. Both have their advantages so which set would you guys use and why... Thanks for the input on this.
