What's wrong with the included solids?  I have a set of Johnsons that came with the Racer Brown I'm going to run. I've run flat hyd. lifters with no issues. Take the time to set the lifters up, mark them, and verify they're all rotating in the bores.

True enough...they will work doing as you suggest and running the right oil.

I'll be running an Engle flat-solid this year. After talking it over with the guys at Engle, I'm just going with the solids they sent me and a good zinc fortified oil. If everything is operating correctly, A solid cam motor should be just fine. If something is wrong in your valvetrain, I dont think a little oil leaking from the bottom of the lifter is going to fix it.

EDM's oil the face of the lobe/lifter which really helps potential lobe/lifter failure. I have a new set of EDM's in the box I want to sell. These are $180 through Competition Products, buy them from me and save some money and help a fellow racer.... $150 Shipped in the States..  PM me if your interested.
