Posted by: joeav8tor Mar 4 2005, 07:53 PM

hello to all!
I am interested in the pros and cons of hydraulic lifters in a FI 2.0 engine....thanks in advance.

There is one pro and about 10,000 cons...

The pro is that they run quieter- Thats it.

Which can be great, with bent valves, and an exhaust leak! Then you can't hear them at all!

Me neither.

If I was building a motor from scratch, I wouldn't go that way. But I've had no problems with them in my 1.7, and I drive it hard.
