Hydraulic lifters, Web-Cam Options

[watsonrx13]

OK, Joe Ricard has just informed me that he's received the new lifters for my rebuild. They are the Web-Cam Performance Lifters, ordered through PP, as recommended for the Web-Cam camshaft for carbureted cars.

Is this good, bad, correct, wrong?

I'm confused (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Do I need to call PP and get an exchange?

If I should get an exchange, what should I order?

This car is going to be a driver with occasional AX runs. Joe is rebuilding the engine, it's a 2.0l with 94mm P/C, twin 40 IDF, 9.2:1 CR. I'm looking for reliability and dependibility.

The new solid lifters are 2-piece. Shake them and they will rattle (hydraulic ones won't rattle, but look very similar). Do a search here on lifters. There have been reported problems with the new lifters either breaking or causing the cam to go flat within the first few hours of running. But in most cases they are probably fine. I decided that I couldn't risk my engine on questionable lifters and put in ceramic ones from LN Engineering instead.
