Default Installing timing chain and gears on 61

I am installing new double roller timing chain on my 61. I am wondering about the idea of installing a nylon cam button. It's
a flat tappet hydraulic cam, but don't see how it would be a bad
idea. Anyone else used a button with flat tappets. I know that they
are used with roller cams.

Why? The General didn't see the need.

A cam button is needed for roller cams. They grind them straight up. Solids and hydraulics are ground to push the cam rearward.
