Hydraulic Roller Lifters w/LA Block?

Ironmike said
Right on....... I'm using Hughes rockers and shafts, with the MRL solids. Absolutely perfect friggin geometry and "scrub pattern". They are a little expensive but nowhere near T&D or Jessel. I've been running them for a long time. The last set I had were the 1.5 ratio. I ran em for 4 years and sold them to a buddy for his drag car. He's running almost 700lbs open pressure and has somewhere north of 200 passes on em. Amazing.

Nice, sounds sick man!!

So I just got off the phone w/my engine builder and after discussing this issue at length with Mike at MRL, and many others, he no longer wants to try and grind the cam and is recommending that we just go to solid rollers and avoid all the headache.

I agree. So we're going to try and return the Comp hydro roller cam I currently have and get a legit solid roller cam and solid roller lifters instead. Hopefully Comp will at least give us credit since the hydro cam was technically not compatible with my block. Not sure if we'll be able to return the Morel's though. We shall see...

He also said he can get me a good price on a set of T&D rocker arms and oilers so I'm prob going to say **** it and just do it. Plus that way I'm actually excited about my motor again instead of being so stressed out! Haha.
