I just ran five years on a .650 lift solid lifter cam in my small block. And I even run alcohol. Brad Penn (Penn Grade) oil and EDM lifters. I would put it in another engine tomorrow.
John, with all respect, in my opinion folks were not having these problems five years ago, at least folks who knew what they were doing.
Now you see folks that know what they are doing have problems all the time.
Until something changes I would never use a flat tappet cam again.
