im just throwing this out as a possibility and may not be relevant at all but if the foaming of the oil is bleeding down the lifters is it throwing off the geometry resulting in worn forks/axles?
icdeppl - pretty sure I bought those same EVO steel on steel solid roller lifters your referring to. Not certain however I got mine through jones cams. Mike’s a pretty good dude. I believe a company close to his manufactures them. I read a very similar if not the same post as you pasted. I was completely sold on the concept as it makes a lot of sense in hi performance marine and other endurance builds.

So you`re running those lifters? How have they held up?

I watched the video on the block mod restricting the oil but I`m confused on why and what is being restricted. I dont understand the benefits.

I talked to Terry Manton (RIP) a while back about pushrods. He told me to use the thickest dia. and the thickest wall I could get in it. Then he said if I was using guide plates NO tapered ends. Just saying . Harmonics not good!

Ok, now that we've determined hydraulic's are crap for high performance marine, what are the favorites in solids? I was planning on solids for the next motor, it looks like I'm switching now while this motor is still running.

But you also can`t go wrong with Crower or Jesel .

I may have missed it however are you going to stay with hyd rollers and run the solids or are you going to go solid/solid. When I switched over to solid rollers and springs on my NA 496’s I picked up power all the way through and over 45 hp at peak and 200 rpm.
