Default Flip-Flopping Lifters
I remember reading in one of the mags, some time back, that one of the camshaft company's Tech guys said it's okay to use mechanical roller lifters on a hydraulic roller camshaft (or was it the other way 'round?)

Anyway, has anyone ever tried this?

Jake

I believe it's ok to use either roller lifter (hydraylic or solid) on a roller cam, but you cannot switch between flat tapped & roller.
