Where do I even begin? Are these that valuble now? That price just seems overly excessive for an internal engine part. It's not something external that someone can point out and brag about rarity. In fact, with today's oil situation it can be quite risky losing these and maybe a camshaft lobe. I recently put into service a pretty hot solid lifter camshaft from Comp Cams along with their new solid lifters with the hole that's EDM'd pn the bottom. Nice pieces. Tiny hole, you can barely see it, but when you pump the lifter with an oil can, you can see the hole on the bottom weep oil. Great feature.
