My thought from 40 years back was a Ford and Chevy you could not run a Hyd lifter on a Solid cam. The Mopar and AMC used the 0.904" lifter so the base did not dig into the cam lobes.

But with roller's I can not see any issues. The cam is stupid and does not know that is above it. It just sits there and spins.
