Are there that many failures using a standard solid lifter in a stocker motor? The NASCAR guys used standard solid lifters for decades. I know the ramps are more aggressive in Stock these days, but a tool steel lifter for a .312" lobe? Are people turning stocker engines to 10K?

If it makes you feel any better, buy a set of crower lifters and send them off to be cryod for $100. Or buy a large diameter lifter and have the block machined for them if that's allowed.
