does the solid roller have the correct nose on it?
What I am talking about is the step on the nose for the cam retainer plater and the 1/2 inch hole in the center?

If not, I think I would pass.

Why would you get a solid roller that small?

Hydraulic is easier if you only want a mid-range cam (which that is).
