I ran the morels before which are very long bodies compared to the BAMS and much heavier, essentially hydraulic roller lifters converted to solids. Never had an oil pressure loss through the valley (which I assume with the BAMS results in a bit of a "pulsation" as various lifters go to the top of their lobe.

What I hated about the morels was the weight and the long bodies combined with the 59 degree tappet angle made for really short poorly angled pushrods.

I'm living with the lower peak oil pressure but I added an accumulator which certainly seems to help for peace of mind, especially at 7200 on the big end, And the motor revs a lot easier with the reduced valvetrain mass and improved geometry.

I suppose when I go back through the motor I can bush the bores or maybe detune the motor with a lower lift cam and just put the car back on the street and maybe spray it instead.

Yes, i did not like those goofy pushrod angles in the SB.
