I also know what happens when you loose a roller lifter, despite what people say...they can and will come apart.
. They are simple, and dont fly apart on you. With the cam specs I am looking at with this solid flat cam, the spring pressures would be pretty high with the same size roller.
I had a long discussion with Dwayne about a solid vs. roller on the street. I had talked myself out of a roller and was gonna get another flat tappet. Fine, you dont have to deal with checking the lifters on a regular basis, with a roller. As you mentioned, you will need some serious spring pressure with that flat tappet. A bunch of spring pressure on a cast core, over time (who knows how long) might equal breaking the core. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif)

Well I have to give those C***y guys a fair fight and there I go thinking I was giving them two chances by keeping it heavy and N/A! When this motor gets fixed they're all just gonna have to jet up their nitrous kits ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif)
