The capped Mellings are what is installed in my engine right now, and doing fine. I kept a set of GM NOS just in case. After careful examination and measuring the GM NOS were by far the most accurate, consistent and well machined, the Mellings came in second, the HLJ third.
Rock Auto still lists two varieties of Melling lifter, both capped, one standard, one "high performance" ... no data on where they are made.

Interesting Data. Here is a picture of what they are selling as the melling JB951. Let me know what you guys think.
last two orders were the new style as well and had to find a local old supply. Truman Fields had some interesting posts about the hard faced lifters.
