Where can I find information on using hydraulic lifters? Is there anyone out there that has done a build using hydraulic lifters? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Would like to hear of all the pros and cons.

I can adjust my valves, that is not a problem. I just wanted to know if there was any performance, or perhaps reliability factors to consider that would make me want to try hydraulic lifters. After asking around it does not sound like a very good idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) . I just brought home a new project car that I am considering an engine swap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Chevy V8.

No, but there is the annoying as (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) factor of having them bleed out and sometimes being reluctant to pump up again if you let the car sit for more than a week. When i was younger, much less mechanically inclined, and using my 914 as my daily driver I paid a shop to build a motor with them. It was a good motor, I beat the hell out of it for close to 15 years never having pulled the valve covers once. It still runs great but it is now sitting on a dolly in my garage unused for all the reasons i would never make the choice to put hydro lifters in a 914 again. |
