I mean idle time at a stop light with the oil hot as hell and idle at 1,000 RPMs.Kills the springs.
I see, hot springs from driving around, and hot oil; then run at idle when very little oil gets on the springs to cool them.

Hemi-itis, You seem to have had sucsess using the AMC lifters in your Hemi, I like the idea of pushrod and axle oiling in a street motor. However many posters on this site say you cant use these lifters without bushing the block, Having used them do you see anywhere you could run into problems with this type of lifter/
my 606 hemi has been runnin since 2003 has 6500-7000 street miles and 200+ passes ive been runnin comp roller lifters / comp 943 valve springs with no problems what so ever !!! .720 intake and .690 ex lift!! ive got raybarton t-d rockers that have spray bars built in !! i replaced the valve springs and lifters in 2007 before the pumpgas drags , checked the springs they were dead on so iput them in a 650 lift roller cammed GTO been runnin ever since !! one thing i do driving the car is don't let it ldle below 1000 rpm for a long time like in 2 miles of woodward traffic ! yeah by the way lifters are going back in to another car they are perfect ,
When I first primed the system with the intake off,I was concerned because cold,the oil was hemmoraging from the top & bottom of the lifter  .I was thrilled with the way oil came up the pushrod sending extra oil the the exhaust valve   .So,I put it together and ran it.Had 80 lbs cold on fire up,after hot 25/35 idle,75 lbs @7500 rpm.I have the MP roller rockers which have not needed any real adjustment in 3 years and 10k mikes.I wish I had the Barton system and spray bars but,,,,,,,,,,,not in the budget.But I do not worry about idle time,sometimes takes 20 minutes on a friday night to get mt spot in the cruise parking lot. One thing I must say,when your pullin' outta the lot and whack the throttle and just blow the tires away  that is the hardest on the roller lifter and rocker.The roller bounces of the cam sorta in a "FLOAT" and reaks havock on the valve train.CONTROL YOURSELVES!!!   
HEMI-ITIS has no cure.
My condition is fully BLOWN!!

511 hemi with a Cammotion 247/252 roller. Comp 929 springs set at 160/420. I put about 21000 miles on this . I changed the springs once and the Crower Rollers once. The Bronze gear is in such good shape , that i am reusing it on the upgrade i am in process of putting together. I sent the Crower Rollers back for a rebuild ( with about 11K miles on them) and Crower said they were nearly perfect. I had them rebuild anyway for about $190. I used Indy rockers on the setup ( for sale BTW) . New setup will use Stage V rockers , 254/262 roller with Comp 943 springs set at 250/587- and the same bronze gear
