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.

Can't run bigger dia lifters.
I've had 2 failures with lifters over about 8 years. Each time was well over $8000 to fix.
Been running Shubecks and it's getting hard to do anything else with my fingers crossed knowing it could happen, anytime. . Just allow rollers and if you don't wanna run them you can keep what ya have.
Not sure cryod will hold up. I know it didn't on one of my motors.
