I will need to check the lash once in awhile, but no big deal.
I suspect IF I go the way of solid rollers Brent will packaging a similar set up.

Its a case of Hydraulics will work and work well, but solid will fulfill the intakes potential... either way is a win/win just not sure if I want to leave anything on the table.
