At the time I was doing the research in here you had not yet joined the forum.

As I said, I haven't read anything about hydraulic roiller cam failure, certainly not in any volume.

There are plenty of FE's out there running hydraulic roller cams w/o any issue. Keith Craft, Roush, Tom Lucas (FE Specialties) and many others seem to swear by them and they provide 2-year warranties.

Regardless of my time here on Club Cobra. I just didn't materialize out of thin air in the Year 2007.

I am as faithful as anyone can get pampering his toys,and having to fret over the type of oil or additives we HAVE TO use for our motors to survive.Staying one step ahead of all the changes is a full time chore.But then change is good,a roller cam setup is a good thing as long as we do not get stupid when it comes to lift and duration.

Santa's sleigh runs solid flat tappets. It's worked flawlessly for decades.

PatrickT First, happy holidays to you and the family. Second you have never sat behind reindeer. They STINK, SPRAY SENT, and Smell if not washed every couple of days. This is why Santa doesn't smoke with all the work he has to do in 1 night. Light a match and the whole rig could explode. It would look like a meteor trail in the sky.
Been to a reindeer farm in Alaska and got a ride, never again. never forgot. Ps the harness bells DON'T sound like any solid lifter motor I have heard. The farting come close. Rick L.
