An interesting thing I've noticed is the condition of the used Jesel roller lifters sold on ebay.  A lot of them look like they have had years of use.  I talked to their tech guys and they claim bigger roller bearings make a big difference, so they recommend larger diameter lifters to make room for the bigger bearings.  And all of them are force fed oil, which seems to be become more common.

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.
