Don't get tripped up and not using a Solid Roller. I have thousands of miles on mine, .643 Lift at the valve 242@50, I went to check lash after about 5K miles. They did not move a bit.
Adjusting a solid cams valves all the time is a Myth. Guys don't know WTH they are talking about. Use good parts and you will not need to adjust them hardly at all. I have LA Heads and I run an EMD hole in the push rod as well at about .010. This keeps pressurized oil on the ball and cup. Manton Pushrods is 15 min from my house. I had them make me some 3/8 push rods with 5/16 ends on them. Never had a problem and I have ran several Solid FT cams as well with the same set up. No problem holding the valve adjustment. I revv my current Stroker motor well into the 7K Range on a 200hit of NOS as well. Never misses a beat.
