Confused
Hello Guys, new guy here. I'm a bit confused by all the terminology regarding the cams, lifters and rockers on the FE engines. Flat tappet, solid lifter cams , hydraulic lifters, roller rockers, adjustable this, fixed that ,etc. I've been reading a lot, but still not completely understanding. Based on the info below, can you tell me exactly what this is? Would it be a solid lifter cam with solid lifters and adjustable rockers? No rollers or hydraulics.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, all sideoilers have solid lifters with flat tappets.

At 4.25" bore without sonic cylinder wall test provided by a seller I'm be very Leary about purchasing it. The OEM 427s were notorious for core shifting.

A sonic test is always prudent, but 4.250" is only .017" over standard bore. I've never seen one have an issue there.
