Yes and just to be clear, Paul prefers the encased roller, which is how the Johnson roller lifters come. Paul has used the unshrouded rollers, which is how the Comp S lifters for Pontiac come, and he had some issues a few years back of the legs breaking and losing the rollers, which turned into a very expensive repair.

Since then Paul has stuck exclusively to the Johnson roller lifters with the completely encased rollers, there is no interference even with .380 lobe camshafts. Just simply do the lifter bore mod for those worried about oil band heights. Although I will say I've run both the Johnson and the Comp S lifters for Pontiacs without the lifter bore modifications on several engines and have never had issues with any lifters, no broken wheels, no noisy lifters.
