Thanks (perfconn),
I was not aware of that, i guess the .875's are just a repair fixer. i know that that it cost lot's of money to move up to the .904's due to having to rebore the lifter bores and not many shops are equipped to do this. I have 3 CNC Fadals available to me but no 3rd axis, so i can't do my own. I do have an EDM hole popper, so i make mine priority oiling to the rollers which extends the life a little. I do this also on my solid lifters.
