I have built many small blocks. I have never had a problem with oiling with solid lifters that cause me to install the tube kit. The tube kit for the oil galley is only for when you put in a roller cam. Solid lifter are designed to allow the right amount of oil to pass by them. The roller lifters let most of the oil go by so a tube has to be installed to limit this oil pypass. Hope this helps.
