The interface/interaction of the roller wheels and the camshaft can generate substantial thrust force....... either forward or backward.
For any particular build, you won’t really know if there is any, and if there is, how much there is, or in which direction.

So, to cover all bases....... incorporate some sort of thrust control in both directions, and some form of wear protection for the block.
