patrickt it's about what kind of sex you want to have. Just like what camshaft and lifter you want to run in your motor. 8,000 rpms solids win out, street motor with a 6,200-6,500 limit making alot of torque, hydro rollers. If you have the money, Schubecks in aluminum and any size camshaft and spring combo you want. I believe a hydro roller with proper maintain ance will last 100K miles. In the old days a solid motor would last 70-80K miles with todays cheap metals, mileage is less, some because of the
oil and lack of
zinc and other needed sliding materials needed. What works for some doesn't work for others.
You like solids and I see no problem. Only lash is your enemy and how much lash is in the valve train. Rick L.
