Reply to "roller v. flat tappet"

STP (blue) will give you all the ZDP that you need. It's a lot cheaper then a roller valvetrain.

Pick any cam company catalog and look at the roller grinds you will find that the timing events are almost exactly the same as a solid lifter cam profile.

I happen to strongly disagree with the roller camshaft is a "gift from Heaven" scenario.

The best engineering logic is to make "it" as simple as possible, not as complicated.

It's you money. Spend it where you like. Like the ad says, "pay me now or pay me later" (we don't care).

Virtually anything that you can do with a roller grind you can do with a flat tappet.

The lack of ZDT in oil is an absolutely ridiculous reason to go to a roller set up. ADD it for $5.

Just my 1-1/2 cents, or is it sense?
