When doing the upgrade to my motor this winter, I bought a new set of Sealed Power lifters from Rock Auto. Marc H had suggested that and they were less expensive than the Melling. However, when Pete tried insalling them with the regrind intake cams, there wasn't enough pre-load. I sent the SP lifters back and bought the Mellings. The heads are GVD heads with new valves, not sure whether new valve seats were cut but the Mellings are working just fine.
