My 422 smallblock build

I also hope they have at least a .750 wheel. You might get away with a smaller diameter wheel on a HR but that is just asking for trouble with a solid roller.
Why would wheel diameter have anything to do with hydraulic or solid? I totally agree that the bigger the wheel the better but why would it be less desirable on a solid application. The wheel is going to make the same amount of revolutions per camshaft rotation regardless if it’s hydraulic or solid.
