I think roller lifters are the major weak link in the system. I have used mostly comp lifters, and mostly cams in the .750-.850 lift range with springs that are around 275 lbs on the seat new and about 200-225 after used. I have always had lifter problems after about 10-20 passes (1/4 mile). I will check the lash after about every 3 rd time to the track. If you find a rocker out of adjustment by more than a few hundredths- there is a problem, and you must find it. usually the rollers going bad. If you dont catch it in time, you will be rebuilding.
When the roller bearings in the lifter start to go bad the valve will go out of adjustment.
I also think if you keep the lift under .700 or so, it will greatly extend the lifter life. I am currently running the Isky red zone lifters, with a .680 or so cam. seems to be working well.
I would contact your cams manufacturer for lash specs, I think each grind is different.
Hope this helps, my experience in a nutshell. :rollside:
