Default Re: Flat tappet lifter failure

Dont race stock but watched the epe video and it looked like Harhiem and Godbold both did not jump in and say ya oil thats the problem in fact it seemed they looked the other way. It seems that all cam companys would rather not deal with the problem or look for an answer.
Lake speed has the credentials but I dont see this as just the oils fault alone (personally dont care for him) . It was said maybe the limit has been reached . If a roller would cure this without needing million dollar springs/ billet cores / $1000 lifters without affecting perf. adding longevity and in the long run saving tons of $.
I know guys already have the flat tappet setups but they dont last forever either so after they wear out or break stay or change .If the lift rule stays its been said a roller has no perf advantage. I dont know it just seems no one has the answer. Sorry for the rant.
