Glad to see Brian got you taken care of. The Johnson SLR lifters are an excellent choice when you are looking for a step up over LS7s.

I wasn't really expecting anything and for him to give all my money back I think that was a very stand up thing to do.
not to often you find a company that would do that
That's good to hear!!!

I ordered up the Johnson lifters on Friday, like Brian said he credited all the money back from the original lifters and I just put it towards the new ones.
I have read some good reviews on the Johnson lifters and cant wait to try them out

Interested in your thoughts when you get them in. I have been looking at them as an option.

Since you seem to have resolved your issue, would you mind explaining the failure you had on the BTR lifters? I am running the same lifters and was unaware of the multiple failures till I read this thread. I will have to do some internet digging now.

on both lifters the pin that holds the roller in came loose, I got lucky and caught it in time both times before it did damage.
like mentioned, Brian gave me a full refund on them
