Product Description
JOHNSON SLOW LEAKDOWN LIFTERS - LS ENGINES 2110R
These are Johnson's race-style drop-in lifters for all LS/LT engines not running DOD/AFM. They do not use a link bar, so you will still use the OEM lifter trays. The 2110R lifters can be used in mild street builds all the way up to full race engines. Johnson lifters are considered the pinnacle of LS/LT lifters by many engine builders.
Hydraulic-Roller - Uses OEM Lifter Trays
.035" Recommended Pre-Load +-.010"
Set of 16 Lifters
Features include:
- Cold forged steel body heat treated for exceptional wear resistance.
- Precision ground needle roller bearing with high chromium steel axle for long life and minimal friction.
- Cold forged extra long piston, precision ground and fitted for controlled leak down and pump up.
- High flow disc style quick reacting check valve for better reaction at higher RPM.
- Precision oil metering assuring proper oiling to the rocker arms without sacrificing oil pressure.
- In late 2013 GM Performance went to Johnson Lifters to ask them what they had for their COPO LS engines. GM tested the Johnson 2110 lifters, GM LS7 lifters, Cadillac Racing lifters, and others to include those from Morel. GM took the lifters and put them through months of testing, and the Johnson lifters were the only ones that they had no issues with axle retention. Johnsons were repeatedly tested past 8,500 rpm
- Slow bleed-down lifter describes the ability to maintain lift without collapsing, or the repeatability in common rotation on the cam.
- If you had a .630” lift camshaft but your lifters bled down .030” as the lobe of the cam rotates, you essentially would only be getting .600” of lift from your cam
- Johnson lifters maintained their lift 95% of the time
- LS7 lifters only maintained their lift 50% of time
- Cold Start noise is commonly attributed to two main factors: High valve spring pressure, The high leak (bleed) down rate of the lifter (SLR lifters are actually a positive here)
- Johnson lifters have the largest inlet from low pressure (engine oil pressure) to high pressure (holds the load via the pushrod to from the rocker arm). Johnson uses the largest disc style check valve in the industry.
- Cold forged 1018 steel blanks CNC’d to final dimensions. Heat treated for exceptional wear resistance. Chosen over 8620 for roller pocket strength. The grain structure from forging increases the durability and dimensional repeatability in that area, which allows for an encapsulated roller versus an open fork design. The encapsulated rollers when used with standard GM diameter lifter will take higher spring loads than an open fork design.

Recommended Lifter Installation:
1. Inspect the lifters for any signs of damage to the lifter body or wheel.
2. Verify the rollers spin without any binding.
3. Wipe down the lifter body with a lint free rag.
4. Coat the outside of the lifter with engine oil (not recommended to soak)
5. Debris entering a lifter is the main cause of failure. Clean the top end of the engine to ensure no foreign debris can enter the lifters upon startup.
6. Inspect the Rocker Arms, Pushrods Ends, and Valve Tips for excessive wear. Replace as necessary.
7. Install lifters and set the lifter preload to the recommended specifications.
8. Change oil/filter after 50 miles to remove any debris that may have been missed during assembly.

JOHNSON 2110R SLOW LEAKDOWN LIFTERS - LS
Sometimes people say, "you have to pay to play". Anybody who chooses Johnson lifters knows from reviews and research that these are some of the best lifters on the market. If GM Performance chose to go to Johnson lifters, that says something about the shear quality of their product. For the LS1 in the C5 Corvette, I chose to go with these lifters, Michigan Motorsports upgraded GM rocker arms, dual valve springs, titanium retainers. Along with their LS1 .613/.605 lift BTR stage 1 cam kit, I feel that I am getting the most lift and duration from the cam without much or any loss due to lifter compression. These lifters were tested by GM Performance and outperformed the LS7 lifters. That's all I needed to know to decide to go with the more expensive option. I'm not taking any chances with the engine in my 2004 Corvette by going with cheap no name lifters that can fail under the demands of the higher lift cam and dual valve springs. I would have gone with LS7 lifters, but Johnson lifters are shown to perform better so that's what's in my engine.
