Type I lifters problematic? If not can they be used instead?

I know they don't just "drop in", just wondering if they are having problems as well. I just sold my motor and like a dummy, didn't keep the ceramic lifters since I didn't realize the problem getting them and the price change...

Yes, if you bush the case...

BUT many cams are not compatible with the surface area change of the mushroom lifter. The bigger diameter impacts the surface speed of the lifter and that spin dictates the wear pattern.

You really should have kept those ceramics.
