Lifter brand

The “issues” I’m referring to are strictly about the possibility of noisy operation with retrofit hyd roller lifters.

With solids...... there’s always going to be some noise.

With hyd rollers, since it’s still “hydraulic”, there is often an expectancy of quiet operation...... which is not how it always works out....... and some combos are really quite noisy.
Noisier than if it were a solid.

However, the same basic advice should be employed with solids.
Buy American made from a reputable supplier, and follow the instructions.
I’ll also add that you should buy lifters that are suitable for the overall build...... or ones that are slightly better.
Not a good place to scrimp.
