Generally that means bushing the lifter bores and restricting oil to the valve train. What happens with a Roller cam is the lifter sits up higher and when the lifter goes up on the lobe of the cam it uncovers the oiling hole momentarily causing a loss in oil pressure.

I would take it to a machine shop familiar with running a mopar with a roller cam. I have also read that this mod is typical in Chevrolets but not needed in Mopars. Alot of the cam manufacturers have all the instructions geared towards Chevys. I would call Mopar Performance or Muscle Motors or someone else you trust who Races Mopars. They would be able to tell you for sure. Good luck.
