FWIW, I've put new lifters on old cams forever back before all the problems with metallurgy, cheap off shore parts, decreased ZDDP. Each segment of the aftermarket points fingers at the other vendors. If the cam was in good shape, I never had problems. Many times switching from standard Pontiac lifters, to anti pump up lifters, and making the valve train adjustable at the same time.
That has all changed, and I have no idea what avenue I'd choose now. The hydraulic rollers have as much problem as HFT do.
Maybe dig out my 50 plus year old Crower solid roller cam, and use it. I've run it on the street for years, without any problems.
