- I assume you mean flat tappets, or are you just asking about solid versus hydraulic lifters? If you mean flat tappets I don't think it will work very well. Roller cams ground for roller lifters take

- Just a question. So I guess that you are not in favour of this technology? Not roller rockers but roller cam and solid roller lifters. I already use roller rockers "sham on me" and I am smiling :) J

- I did mean solid roller lifters with a roller cam. Thanks for your response it is clearer to me now. The knowledge and the sharing of it is just great! Thanks. Jim I assume you mean flat tappets, or

- Looking at the profile of a roller cam, it looks like a flat lifter will not work on a roller cam. The shape of the lobe is quite different. The lobe shape on a roller cam is shaped kind of like a fi

- I thought as much it would need to be a roller lifter to make it work. Did a little bit of research here in OZ and seems it would be quite costly. Had a rough cost of $4500 AUS dollars and lot of tr

- The incentive for doing a roller cam is less for a TR3/4 engine than for a SBC due to the diameter of the lifters (0.935 for TR, 0.842 for SBC). The larger lifters allows you to use a more aggressive
