Excellent idea. In that same engine builder's forum, a Comp Cam rep said 
that "3000 miles is about the max life we expect from a solid roller lifter." 
The cam itself seems to last much longer. THere's also another version of 
Isky's EZ roll bushing-roller lifter, being built & sold by , who also are 
advertising that they can convert most solid-roller lifters to their bushing 
type. And Isky can convert their Redline rollr lifters to bushings.
