I inquired about bushed lifters from known S/SS engine builder and his thought was anyone running the trick of the week light weight oil would have trouble with bushed lifters. Lubrication was not sufficient enough for the bushings. When I had Carl prep my Little M block he highly recommended the Morel lifter and I can see why.

Jeff you went with the Morel Ultra Pro .904 lifters which are pressure fed lifters, Which was a great choice !!!

To date I have never seen any one that had any issues with .904 lifters.

I am still on the fence on bushing lifters !! Over the last few years I have had calls and emails about problems with those lifters.

To the OP if you go to a bigger lifter its a good way of getting the lifter bores corrected to blue print.

Here is a good article on lifter bore placement on page 52
