Roller cams and lifters are not a panacea. They have some severe 
geometric limitations that no one seems to talk about. When I have tried 
to create a decent lift curve for our engines, I end up with a convex 
flank that cannot be ground with standard cam grinders. If I flatten the 
flank, I get a mild low lift cam.
