Using a GM roller block with the dog bones and spider. What is a quality brand of lifters that fit this application or is better to go with a link bar style? Part numbers?

As in no oil pressure going to the rocker arm I would assume? Or did they actually take away the entire engines oil pressure? What lifters did you have before? Why did you change to those from the previous ones?Well, I can surely say which ones to avoid.

No oil to the rocker arms and the engine oil pressure was WAY low. Took forever to get any pressure on the gauge..I'm talking under 20 psi. Horrible. You can imagine the noise.
I was using stock GM roller lifters that came in my ZZ4 (upgraded to ZZ430 specs with GMPP HOT cam, Fast Burn heads, 1.6 roller rockers, etc)
I tried the Comp Cams wondering if they would give me a couple of hundred RPM. Tempted by the Summit catalog. Don't really need them, as It will buzz to 6k+ with stock lifters....made a big mistake.

545/555 230/236 duration, if duration matters. 110 lobe center.
I used Lunati retro rollers with link bars in my 406" sbc...similar to these (forget part number) and were solid rollers.
