Drop-In Lifters With Axle Oiling For Gen 3 Hemi By Johnson Lifters

Your Gen 3 HEMI deserves lifters that don’t tap out when the going gets rowdy. That’s where these Johnson Non-MDS Hydraulic Lifters with Axle Oiling come in. Designed for high-horsepower applications and built tougher than your cousin’s third divorce, they’re the reliable upgrade your valvetrain’s been begging for.

Running a big cam? These stock MDS lifters weren’t built for that kind of pressure (literally). They tend to collapse like a folding chair at a BBQ when the loads go up. Swapping to these non-MDS bad boys is the answer—and yes, you’ll need to shut off MDS in your tune unless you want your cylinders randomly ghosting you mid-pull.

These lifters feature a pushrod cup moved down .195″, while still rocking .143″ total travel. Translation? More aggressive cam profiles, better stability, and less risk of your HEMI turning into a percussion instrument at high RPM.

Thanks to axle oiling, you’re getting improved lubrication and durability when you’re pushing serious power. They’re a direct fit for any Gen 3 HEMI, and yeah, you’ll probably need different pushrods. Grab a pushrod length checker (like the MSRC-GEN 3 HEMI) and don’t just guess. Guessing’s for lottery tickets and sandwich orders.

Recommended preload:

• .035″ ± .010″ for standard lifters

• .035″ ± .005″ for short travel
  And if you’re running an aluminum block, preload a little longer—you’ll lose up to .015″ from heat expansion. HEMI science, baby.

So ditch the MDS and level up. These Johnson lifters are ready to rock, roll, and rev.

THESE DO NOT COME WITH TRAYS. YOU WILL NEED TO GET NEW NON-MDS TRAYS.
