For what its worth regarding the Morel's and noise.. I bought some Morel 4603's from Eddie maybe 2 years ago or so (and this post is nothing against Eddie, just Morel information) and they rattled from day one on the dyno. I thought the guy that put my motor together was the problem, then a year later I had another reputable builder go thru it. He said the lifters looked fine mechanically, but did fix up my valve train geometry slightly. They still rattled.
This year I put in Johnson lifters, and I haven't heard a peep. Totally quiet valve train. FYI-

Eddie is a great mechanic. Great on helping everyone out. BUt honestly he lost me here. Solids are great for racing but hydraulics are drivability. IMO. I would set 32 lifters once in awhile if i had too. I really don't think you have to.
