Choice for EDM solid flat tappet lifter.

Ever pre-lube an engine (before installing the intake) with EDM lifters and seen how much oil actually spooges out from that hole under the lifters onto the lobes? I have.
You don’t think there’s any benefit on initial cranking, especially for engines that sit for extended periods of for time, of any additional oil being delivered via EDM’s before actual splash lube after start/ up?
If EDM Lifters cost the same as regular solid lifters you’d use them, don’t tell me you wouldn’t!:poke:

Well that's about the extent of it. Once running and broken in, what's the difference? lol And as for the price, EDMs are still cheaper than rollers. I HAVE EDMs in the Ford 400 I have ready to go in Gladys. I found them on sale. Well.....they're technically NOT EDMs they are Crower Camsavers which have a flat ground into the side that puts pressurized oil right on the lifters. But you're right. I'm sure they're beneficial during initial startup and break in.
