I would think that anything that couldn't be used on a sustained idle wouldn't be considered streetable.

I would try exchanging the ones you got for these, if you can.

Is there truth to the saying that solid roller lifters aren't designed for the street, and that it isn't 'if' the break, but 'when'? One of the gearheads here at work was saying that, and somethign about no matter how much lubrication they get, they always break at some point. He also said trying to put an oil groove on them wouldn't be a good idea.

RB83L69, that tool is meant to increase lubrication for a flat tappet cam/lifters, and wouldn't help to lube the roller lifter's bearing.

The tool makes essentially the same groove as what you see on that lifter. Yes, it's not the greatest thing for oiling the bearings; but it's better than nothing.

I d'ont whant to mess with the lifter bore..Lifters are less expensive then the block.For the cam i got the extreme energy XR286R 248-254@.050"duration & i will use 1.6 rockers so the lift will be .614"-.620" lift match with the set of edelbrock victor jr pn:77599 with a super victor intake.This engine will see both street & strip.

Running junkyard engines are frequently less than $500 CDN, bare blocks are anywhere from $50 to $200 depending on condition, etc.
