John,

That's not good news. RHP is NOT pushing roller lifters on me at all, I'm far more of the instigator. Apparently the hydraulic roller lifters are too tall and create an angle problem for the push rods between the lifter and tappet.

My thoughts were once I went to roller lifters, I'd never replace a camshaft and lifters again. But I learn something new everyday. Also if you know of a specific manufacture that has roller lifters that would be better than others for street usage?

Thanks Much!
Kevin
