Beer will be the catalyst of choice for the dismantling/reassembly of the car. I'm leaning towards Corona.

I don't think it's Rhoades fault, they use the best lifters available and modify the internals. Personally I wouldn't second guess the hydraulic roller choice..... They break plenty and when they do it can be catastrophic.
