Havent touched my lash in 2 yrs. Granted I dont drive it much but it does get driven hard. In fact probably time to ck the springs
Good rockers or better yet shaft rockers there will be no adj needed....if theres some obvious lash its time to ck the lifters for wear
The bushed ones out are pretty nice no needle bearings to go bad
Hr are common as they have come a long way...and are cheap.
Love solids nothing like em. Not for everyone though

Now days if you check your lash once a year it probably hasnt changed. Some people go longer than that. The solid lobes will almost always make more power than hyd roller lobes. Though i have done some HYD roller motors turning 8000rpm. I would almost always opt for a solid roller if its an option regardless of the setup.

One of my employees is going on 7 years and 15000 miles NO adjustment. I have a 2010 LS3 Low Lash Solid Roller with 3000 miles on it so far. The valve noise is 0 the injectors make more noise than the valve train. It does Jesel Roller Rockers. The springs will need changing before you need a valve adjustment.

It will not be big numbers if the valve motion is close to the same until the HYD lifters float then the solid will keep on reving. The solids seam to accelerate a little better. The Low Lash solid cams we make are much quiter than most HYD cams.

I am running a low lash solid roller cam from Kip at cam motion and love it. Set it once and forget about it. It's quiet, revs higher and quicker plus it definitely makes more power than my equivalent hydraulic did. It's absurb to think that a solid roller cam is just old 90's technology. LOL the benefits are numerous; less noise, faster and higher rpm capability, more torque and no fear of a collapsed lifter. The low lash solid lobe design by cam motion doesn't require stupid spring pressures so you can use BTR double springs. The only drawback if you consider it one is you need good adjustable rockers for setting lash but you can offset the rocker cost somewhat because lifter cost is typically reduced.
You will need everything that is required for a typical aftermarket hydraulic cam swap: camshaft, lifters, matching springs, proper length pushrods and adjustable rockers. The only thing over and above a hydraulic cam that is required are adjustable rockers to be able to set lash and either spacers or valve covers to clear the rockers.

The advantages are quiter valve train, easier on valves, valve seats, springs, and lifters. Less maintenance. Less valve bounce. Very little power difference. We have had customers with 20,000 on there set up with no valve adjustment.

I don't see a solid lift cam category on your website or solid lifters either.
