Am considering doing this during the off season. Just wanting opinions from others that have done this.

yes then when you go solid roller you wonder why you avoided that so long. Once you spring for one roller seems the price point is just normal from then on.

If the ticking from the lash bothers you, just tighten it up

I went solid on my last build, and love it! I generally do a lash and oil change once a year, as I only put about a thousand miles a year max on my car.

I just love the feel and sound of the solid stick. It just screams old-school muscle!
