Hello Clois,
In the sprint car, we of course have a solid roller. We've never had a problem with the lifters idling and 8,300 rpm's, but that is racing, not on the street. All we've done is replace the springs every two years and normal maintenance.

I lash my solid flat tappet's in my 428 once per year and check them after some harder driving. Keith even said that the solid roller is the same way. I love the solid roller engines, but I'm a little,.... concerned about on the street.

Hotfingers- "KMS"...... lol !
We've run Comps in the sprint motor and in my 428 in my cobra, for many years with no issues. I'm curious why you've had problems ?

Crower products are high quality. Do you also have their crank & rods ?
