Im not sure I follow you. Surely the lifter itself is absorbing any side load, and since roller lifters are roller, and they are tall and the bore they sit in is tall, I just dont see much load being transfered to the push-rod itself.
I run a comp cams profile with low duration and high lift, and I certainly havent suffered any excessive valve train wear. But from the sounds of it, you know more than comp. cam engineers, so why dont you fill us in?
