Maxx.....It's not a hydraulic roller....it's a solid roller.

It's not an oiling problem either....


Capri.....

No, not enough spring pressure. I really don't understand how you're not having valvetrain control issues with spring pressures meant for a flat tappet or hydraulic roller cam.

As for the cylinder heads, you're pretty much stuck. I've never seen a factory or aftermarket head that would be cut out enough to get the lifters out. The whole pushrod area would need to be removed.
