I'm getting close to switching to a roller cam in the big block!

Which high dollar Hyd roller lifters that fit a BBM, that aren’t the link bar style, do you suggest?

Wasn’t meaning the link bar itself.
My motors trashed. Cylinder wall number two scratched up pretty good. That was the first one we scoped. I didn’t even look at it anymore. I’ll get pics when I get the engine tore part maybe next week. I also seen another video On YouTube besides the one you posted another HR link bar broke just like mine did.

Sorry you’re having to deal with it.

My comment was more to set you on the hunt for BBM HR options…….. which I believe will show all choices are the link bar style.

Got a link for the other video?

As discussed in multiple other cam threads, everyone blames the parts but never look for the root cause. Valve spring pressure and rate, coil bind, pushrod length, size, material and wall thickness, bore clearance and oiling among other things all factor into the equation. I’ve yet to experience a lifter failure that was purely a part failure.

In what world do you ever think the engine builder would ever take responsibility for that? Lol. Either way I’ll take full responsibility for what happened to my engine. I hired the guy, I bought the parts. I’ll try to do better next time.

It’s unfortunate when things like this happen for sure. Lots of finger pointing and uncertainty. All we can do is learn and move on.
