    1gary, the advantages of a roller cam, no break in required, steeper ramp up and down profiles, less friction which equals less heat. I'm sure there may be more.

    all i did was put in yet another lifter and it finally solved the problem. Must have just gotten 2 bad lifters. After I finally fixed the problem I also installed a High volume oil pump just in case. it's been 5 years and no problems.
