If you are building an engine today (~2023), Professionals are not building Hydraulic FLat Tappet camshaft engines? Don't try?

I've never seen a roller cam do that. Bad lifter?
That cam/lifter set had over 300,000 miles on em. The rocker (stock paddle type) had enough wear that it created a little lash. Hydraulic Rollers HAVE to stay in contact with the lobe, it’s how the ramps are designed. As soon as there is lash the roller beats the **** out of the lobe. And above is the result.
