Going back to when hydraulic tappets appeared----you could put hydraulics on solid cams but couldn't put solids on hydraulic cams---reason-solid cams have a clearance ramp that gradually takes up the clearance and gentley lets it back on the seat that hydraulic don't have since the hyd is in contact all the way around
