Solid Roller ?
 

Solid Roller ?
i have built alot of stroker motors in my life, and always a ford guy. i just need someone that can answer a true ? on running a Solid Roller on the street. how long will a solid roller truly last driving on the street around 100 miles a week or so? i have a friend that works at comp cams, and one of the tech's and him drove one of comp's test cars 3000 miles about a month ago. when it was checked everything looked good. I have always ran Hdy/Rollers, and had some verry fast cars. I thought i would try 1 solid roller in this new 427 stroker i built. Lunati said the only thing you would have to keep a check on is the Solid Roller Lifters! to check the rollers on them at the end of a race season. has anyone ran a solid roller on the street much?
:confused:

well Billy i asked a similiar question in the Windsor about a couple of weeks ago. check there also

I run a solid roller in my nova and drive it alot on the street. Even though it's a really aggressive cam, it's very reliable. Only thing you really have to do is adjust the valves every so often and it will last just as long as any other cam. Good luck.

IDLE!
 

would the idle be any different on them? i have always let my other engines idle 1000 to 1200 RPM! thanks

CAM SPECS!
 

here is the cam im running->LUNATI SOLID ROLLER

.691 in .668 ex

dur @ 50 .264 in 276 ex


trickflow said the springs that come on these heads or alot better than some of the older ones, and or not as hard on the valve trane.

With that duration at .050 the idle's gonna be pretty rough. My cam in my nova is a .671 669 280 @.050 106 lobe center. It's pretty rough. Your idle should be around 1200-1500. Mine idles at 1300 in drive.
