Probably in the longer term but steel beats plastic in longevity.If a lifter failes and it's a tie bar it'll likely hammer the cam and break the bar anyway.
I don’t think I’m overthinking things when I read and see catastrophic lifter failure that wipes out cams and engines. Fair enough that it’s a rare occurrence but replacement engines are expensive.This is why at a certain level.ypu mobe to solid.
I bet you're overthinking things tbh.
If I was in Murica I would be overthinking it as a replacement LS is $2.50 from the local wrecking yard whereas here in Straya a replacement LS is the same price as a house in inner Sydney. I think $500 is cheap insurance on a $5000-15000 engine.
