I think that the DE valvetrain is alot better, and not to mention easier to find then the ZE valvetrain bits. I think the it is the ZE lifters that give way at high RPM.

No actually its not the lifters. its the valve springs and retainers that give way at high rpm.

I have already converted mine to a DE valvetrain but i still need the 33mm HLA for it.

DE collets & retainers are said to be better than the ZE ones, especially if you like to keep the engine in the high rev range when driving.
