Title: berg lifters....? Post by: jick on August 01, 2007, 18:10:45 pm i have a set of unused Gene Berg 325 lifters that i got about 10 years ago......it seems to me that no-one is using these, is it because the Berg stuff today isn't quite what it was? how about these older ones??
am i fortunate to have these because they're older stock? with reference to various pitting problems of some? or am i better of trading them for some CB ones or even saving up for some Udo's?? how do you think they'd be on my fk89'd cnc comp elim headed 2276?? should i stick or twist? cheers men! Title: Re: berg lifters....? Post by: Lids on August 01, 2007, 18:16:20 pm Thats a good question Jick, especially as everybody i speak to seems to have problems with pitted followers. You know I am very tempted by the beckers but look at the price dude.....

Do they still make those? And more importantly where can I get those? Title: Re: berg lifters....? Post by: Udo on August 01, 2007, 19:34:30 pm Witzemann lifters are no longer avaliable . The Berg ones are the same quality than scat or others . It was 11 years ago when i first used chevy springs in my race engine and i thought about using aftermarket lifters for an engine that does not make much miles . I tried all , Gene berg , Scat , Buckpack . All got pittings and the cam got flat . So i followed the instructions that i got from the suppliers , i put my engine in my street car and drove with outer springs only , no good result. Then i saw no other way to use the lightweight expensive lifters from witzemann . They are now 11 years old and look like new . The Bergs are the only company that tell you about this problem with their cam and lifters , if you buy them you have on your bill that they don't garranty that they work .
My lifters are more expensive because i don't get them from China or Tiwan in thousants of sets at one order . they are manufactured here in Germany in the same quality than the witzemanns . The lightweights are very expensive to manufacture and they are made for light springs and more rpms . I make the new ones more stronger for using with chevy springs . For using outer springs only the Bergs will do their job . Regards Udo |
