I have to change my stock lifters which have 110k miles with new onw, i was thinkin about FRP one but on summitracing site there is a few different FRP lifters
So does anyoneknow what part # i need
 
They are all the same. There are basicly two styles but 90% of all lifters in the world are made by Eaton. Don't worry the brand and don't spend too much. I would get the ones that have the skirt extended all around the roller.

Thats what i heard and thats why i buying FRP oem replacement lifters
I have this noise problem with lifters after i installed cam,they are noisy is hell, ididn't have any problems with stock cam ,i guess they are old 110k miles hehe
 
Lifters alone shouldn't be a cause for a noise problem unless the roller is totally shot. Noisy valve train is more likely an issue with your adjustments. If you have too little preload, you will have noise.
 
Mine were made by Sealed Power.

Ernan, when you put the new lifters in, make sure the little oil hole in the side of the lifter faces the center of the engine - it helps prevent the lifters from making noise on start up.

I agree. Especially with the noise starting after cam install. Check your pushrod length carefully...It won't hurt to replace your lifters while you're in there though.
 
Well i didn't install cam , it was done by Ford mechanic who playin with Ford since 84' ,and he know what he is doing, he tryed adjust them two more times,but no help, pushrod's are correct lenght and tip rockers are right on middle top of valves

My lifters are stock and they have 110k miles and cam i running have .544 lift which is a lot higher than stock one

I gonna install new lifters and we will see will noise go away
