Newman (solid lifter). Still self destruct over time but outlast Kent/Piper by a long shot.

Newman and solid lifters with Harland sharp roller rockers and good oil pressure will last.

Ive been told not to mix and match as the rockwell hardness is different between the two so if you mix and match the cam or lifters will wear dramatically
