My experience with solid ROLLER cams is failure of the lifter roller BEARINGS. Cam lobe damage follows as a result of lifter failure. New roller lifter bearing designs allow for greater oiling of the roller bearing in the lifter itself. It's more expensive than the standard roller design and the solid lifter ONLY FE blocks may not allow for enough oiling of a roller lifter even with the new designs.
