I felt the need to repost this incase someone got a wild hair and decided to go pull a bunch of roller lifters out of a vh45. This is why NOT to do that. Again sorry to post this again, just trying to save people money and a headache. If you guys deem it necassary to delete it thats fine.
Ok, are you ready???? This is why roller lifters will not work with a cam not designed for them. And if they do work they wont work like they are supposed to. The duration will be way shorter. You will still have the same lift but not the same duration, not even close. This is what I was trying to explain last night on lack of sleep. BUT I drew a picture(by hand) and took a picture of that cause I'm a computer retard but the idea is the same.

You can see the difference in the lift with the cam at a 45 degree angle is 3/8" or .375" THATS A LOT! Granted my picture is just an example and not real cams but you get the idea. Also note where the contact point is on the roller vs. the stock lifter. On the roller it is slightly off to the right of the center line. On the stock lifter it is WAY off to the right. So with my picture with both cams at a 45 degree angle the difference in lift is .375"!
The picture is not PERFECT but its pretty fukcing close! Close enough to make my point.
