According to Brian Tooley, yes.

Btw, that's the first ones I've seen with "V" shaped tie-bars. If they're Morels, I wasn't aware they were making them that way.

you were expecting gold stickers and a stripper to pop out of the box when you opened it?

According to Morel, that "V" shaped tie-bar version is for LS Warhawk blocks. Morel lists it as their "Pro" series part number 5274 (for a set) and it has a larger diameter roller wheel (.750). Not sure what the difference is for WH blocks, maybe the length of the lifter bore?

From the Morel website:

Then it sounds like you have no other choice than to return them.

I would have returned them as well. I seriously doubt they ship them without a name, instructions, or the like. Those were either used or they are knock-offs.
Where did you buy them from?

Lol why do lifter need instructions? And if you're buying race lifter, even more so.

Lol, why wouldn't a lifter need documentation?
Every part I bought for my car, heads, cam, intake, exhaust, lifters, rockers, headers, NOS, converter, supercharger, etc. etc. etc. had documentation. New stuff comes with documentation of some sort generally. If I'm dropping my $, I better be getting what I paid for.
Why would race lifters come with instructions? Ahhh, something to tell the preload crazy hacks that lifters don't need .100" preload. Lol

You must be as old as I am. When Moroso first started manufacturing/selling "hard core" race parts back in the early 1970s, they didn't come with instructions either. They assumed if you knew enough to know you needed one (or more) of their specialty parts, you knew how to use it....

Yeah that was my point. To the op sorry if that came off as offensive, it wasn't meant to be.
