FWIW
I used solid roller lifters on a hydraulic roller
Cam in a sbc about 3 years ago
He brought it to me yesterday just check it over.
Almost all were exactly where I set them
.003" cold
A few were around .005"
He has 3500 miles on it so far.
I was Super happy about that since that's the first time I've done that.
Saw it on Engine Masters and had to try it.
On someone else's chevy...lol
