You don't like lifter tick and you're moving to solid? I don't think it's the way to go. get a good quality hydraulic lifters break them in properly and you be good to go.
from the daily lifter problem threads “good quality hydraulic lifters” are luck not brand. I don’t want to pull the intake multiple time just to fix crappy new lifters. And I am certainly used to the sound, my other engine doesn’t even have lifters... 24v Cummins
