Remember!When you put solid rollers in a hyd roller cam it becomes a solid roller cam!You tight lash them at 6 thou and put 200lb on the seats.Ran them for years,had a needle bearing failure that I caught before it spit them out.The lifter body just kissed the lobe but saved it.Had the Isky lifters rebuilt and ran for a couple years before I put the sissy lifters on the cam.The solids will also make the cam smaller by about 8 degrees and the loss of lift at the valve depending on rocker ratio.No free lunch.No cam maker recommend it just say it can be done.They say just get a tight lash solid roller cam where the ramp is designed for solids.Carry on!Tom
