hi
the cam lobes are ground with a taper that the lifter face is always presssig cam rearward, this angle also causs the lifter to rotate !

roller cams have no taper and need a button !




Correct answer... If you use a roller cam you need a thrust button, otherwise the lobe taper takes care of thrust... But a thrust button won't hurt anything & many high performance builds run one...
