Hylift Johnson Lifters Quality Decreasing?

I used Crower Cam Saver hydraulic lifters in my 340, and the quality and install was fine, as well as break in and the current performance, all on the old Purple cam that was in the engine when I got the car.

Same situation for me, my 340 had a clip come loose on the original lifters. The engine had been rebuilt by the pervious owner with a purple shaft cam. When the lifter (clip) came apart my mechanic ordered the 5003's from Hughes on advice from his engine builder. I installed them and ordered new pushrods for better preload.

I truly believe Torqueflite got repackaged 5003's because mine purchased approx. 1 1/2 years earlier from Hughes were packaged differently (post #4).
