Block prep for solid roller lifters
Thanks 
I was thinking of going away from a solid Roller NA motor that was in the car when I bought it to a twin turbo and I was wondering how many Parts I could use from the original motor witch only has 1000 mile on it but has a Blown head gasket.

What I've 'heard' in previous discussions here is that if you're going to get a little wild on the lift, you would probably need to bushing the lifter bores, for oil pressure. Seems that at about .65" lift is where low oil pressure started to happen unless you had bushed bores. If you're staying below .650, and running something like a Crane lifter, you don't have to do anything (that's what I'm running). My lift is .646 minus ~.009 lash (effective .637). I don't have any oil pressure problems at all.
Talk to Geoff @ Thunder Racing, or Alan Futral about it. They both know 'em pretty well.

If my motor has that done to it how would that affect going back to a standard lifter?
