In the middle of rebuilding the black cars engine,
keep in mind that this is a daily driver not a trailer queen. So do I convert to the hydaulic cam and lifters? I have already gotten Jakes opinion but would like some input from someone who has used a hydaulic cam for a driver. I will reveal Jakes opinion after a day or so. I'm inclined to just go Jakes direction just cause he is from my Mamas home state! Headed for a bike ride to keep this fat ass in shape, back in a while. JT |

Well, now that we know where Jake stands. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I've had my stock 72 1.7 since 1999, and it's got hydraulic lifters. I have had no problems with it. I can see that solids are better, but I'm not going to tear down my motor when it runs OK with them. It's also kinda nice not to have to adjust at every oil change. But that's just me.
