Makes sense, The set of Comp S's with the correct oil band in dad's engine is the Shavers I believe, and the old set of Johnsons bought from Comp probably 15+ years ago that came out of his previous engine are the other set I pictured next to them. Very distinct difference in oil band heights.

The odd part is that up to just a few years ago when you bought Comp lifters you never knew what you'd get in the box until you opened them.
