Seraphim, let it roll off your back dude

I too chose solid lifters to minimize the possibility of floating a rocker and to eliminate a potential point of failure in the valvetrain. The ability to spin the motor to 8,000+ plus with my bottom/top ends built is nice in the event of the 'accidental' over-rev; but not a primary reason.

Like anything, there are different 'camps' out there. I did the research and found that the GTiR FSM (because gtir SR runs solid lifters) calls for valve shim inspection/adjustment like every 15,000-ish (maybe 30K?) miles IIRC; which I intend to adhere to... but in my case, I chose solids anyway b/c it will be 15+ years before my SR ever sees 15,000mi lol.

Back on topic- OP may very well have thrown away his money if those cams are indeed not compatible with solid lifters... so many things sound SO cool to do until the rest of the requisites for doing them 'right' come to light
