Over the last 40 years I have ran all solid lifter cams in my engines, new ones and used. Some new wiped out soon after the swap with new lifters , never had a used one wipe out. I have bought used cams that the seller said the lifters were in order, don't know if they were, I have also used used lifers from another cam and didn't have a problem. Luck, just luck. Next engine going roller, no oil additive to worry about.


it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
