Dart, don't jump to conclusions and think a minute.
Some solid lifters have no oil feed holes. Some feed oil to the push rods. Some feed oil to the push rods and cam face. Some feed oil to the roller pins and the push rods. You must be smarter than your lifters.
Most roller pins are splash oiled, some have the pins pressure fed. I blocked the pressure feed to these pins and they are now oiled as normal, which is the leakage by the lifter body/bore and what is thrown up off the rotating assembly. I have a video (that I'm not posting) of the quantities of oil flowing from the pressure fed pins compared to the oil from the standard rollers I put in the lifter bores next to them for a test. To me I had three choices, bush the lifter bores ($800), purchase new lifters ($500) or modify the present lifters ($3.57).
I want them to get sufficient oil, not in my opinion excessive oil. We're running pressure fed pin oiled lifters in a 572 Hemi but it has bushed lifter bores with a small feed hole in the bushing. Shouldn't be a problem but we will test it without the intake manifold on while we pre-lube. I will now always pre-lube before I install the intake manifold.
I'm not telling anyone what to do. I'm reporting what I've discovered. Some roller lifters pass much more oil over the camshaft than others do. All are free to come to their own oil flow conclusions for their engines.
