I am going to make a Wild *** Guess and say "They would be to use instead of the HYD lifters due to any amount of compression they will experience when turning the engine over".

I.E. use the solids when checking your piston to valve clearance.

Thats my guess, What do I win?

Do more research on the net you will find tons of info on the 350 small block.
