In every thread about solid rollers on the street, you will hear some say "I have been doing it for years" and others say "dont do it".
So, you pick!
Most that will tell you not to do it, haven't done it themselves.
My hemi doesn't even have pressure oiling to the lifters (solid rollers). The only oil they get is either splashed on them or drainback from the heads. Going on 5 years now w/ no problems.

boils down to a few things. -cam aggression -spring pressure Thats why you can get so many diff opinions. You cant compare what one person says to another unless the engine and conditions are identical.. FACT

SCAREY stuff ..... There have been several posts here about lifter failures and how it TRASHES the motor.... I am planning a special RV build that might require a very aggressive cam(near 600 lift, quick ramp, short duration) ....and would need roller lifters .... but I sure don't want to be on-the-road and have a lifter come apart. uNtil I can find a reliable combo ....I am going to stick with a "regular" cam ...

I'll be running one in my drag week car... the lifters have roller oiling(hole in the lifter)
What brand ??
At the Indy show on the weekend I saw Hughes had his house-brand roller lifters at a very reasonable price. I asked if they had roller oiling and the reply was no and that he didn't think ANYONE was making them for big block Mopars. You'd think he'd have a line right in to the lifter and cam manufacturers, wouldn't you ?!?

Maybe big blocks dont have them, but do small blocks? Mr.P is running a small block if i am not mistaken.

Yes its a small block... I got the lifters from Brian (ou812 ) here on the board... not sure if they were going to be made by Comp... but I bought direct from him
