If we have a machined LA block, core plugs and cam bearings installed, a pre-covid HFT camshaft, yet don't have lifters yet, should I give up on the hydraulic Flat Tappet setup, and go retro roller$$? Mechanical flat Tappet? or risk failure? Of course on a tight budget...What would you do?

Allot of failures out there with the new parts and oils .
