Apparently you've never installed solid lifters it would seem? If the lifters aren't shimmed correctly and tolerences are to tight then you will eat up your cams. My shop is a Tomei prodealer so we deal with probably about 1000 times more feedback and people fucking up than you do. The factory shims are something like between .10 and .20 thicker than they need to be for solid lifters, that being the case I have seen more people than I can count inproperly shim them thus the rocker eats into the cams, I have even seen cams snap and literally melt into the cam cap do to this. So giving someone advise that clearly doesn't know SR's very well advise to install solid lifters, which yes, are noisy (I'm sorry I know most s13 owners try and make their car feel as shitty as possible but I'm not one of them), are a pain to shim correctly, and are completely unnecessary is pretty dumb. I know in your little garage wanna be shop thing you think you know all, but ignorant advise is what makes people talk shit about s13 owners making their cars shittier by doing stupid things. So how many 1000 hp cars do you build a month? I've built 2 in the last month.


On a side note I've seen solid lifters throw a rocker arm out before, so no solid lifters don't guarantee that you don't throw a rocker.
