Default Solid rollers

Isky makes a drop in solid roller that works with the stock lifter tray. They also make a tie bar style to be used without the tray.

Differences are in oiling, roller and roller bearings.

You need to be careful with cam choice with solid rollers in an aluminum block. Lash opens up a significant amount from cold to hot running. You must select a cam with sufficient hot lash to ensure the valves will seat when the engine is cold.

SO if I were to go with these Isky solid roller lifters, and be sure my cam has enough hot lash, then I will have a solid roller motor? I will be doing a cam this winter in uhhh...a car and If this is all I need to be considerred solid roller, then I will do this. Who sells these and how much are they?

Id say the Morels. They are a little heavy but use the stock tray as well. Do not use the Comps until the new redesigned onces come out. The new ones should be a good setup.
