Arrow Any experience with JAM lifters?

Was planning on getting some GSC "no-tick" lifters (same price also) but was just told about the JAM lifters short for Jackson Automotive Machine. They sound good and see some people running their lifters and engines but would like to see more opinions, they supposedly have been building 4g63's for years. So who's running them? Anything good/bad about them? Supposedly don't need to be bled either, somehow?

Link to the lifters is here...

I replaced a big bore no-tick lifter on my JAM head. I've had the same lifters for 2 years. Works great!

Running the JAM Lifters here as well. No problems whatsoever. Great quality and Jackson Auto Machine has a great reputation as well.

Thanks all, I'm going to go with the Jam's, I already had a problem in my valvetrain so I'm going to go with something tried and true, for all we know all the lifters could come from the same place but I don't mind paying the more $ for peace of mind...

Now to find a place that has GSC S2's IN STOCK for less than $500 haa
