Is the core build for a solid set-up?

That's what I was thinking. If it's not a solid roller grind, I can't see it working well.

The only specs I found for An MS4 has it listed as hydraulic. If his cam is solid, it must be something other than an MS4.

There should be numbers engraved on the Cam on the back side. Find out who is the grinder i.e. CompCams, CAM Motion and call them with the numbers.

I'm guessing he is trying to run solid rollers with an actual ms4...I'm not 100% how it's going to work out, but there is a reason grinds are different for solid and hydraulic.
