I know that the hydraulic is frowned on. All of the later type 4 motors went this route. Even the last Type 1 Beetles from Mexico went there too! The newest 911 are hydraulic.
I am not going racing just crusing in my 73 2.0. I know the power band is different but most of the driving will be under 4500 rpm. I plan on running some modified Hoffman AMC 2.0 heads, 94mm Euro pistons, 1.7 rockers with 911 swivel feet, solid rocker spacers and stock FI. Nothing exotic. |

So for a weekend cruiser you are trying to save yourself 20 minutes a year on a valve adjustment?
The hydro is frowned upon because the cam is a big compromise in hp and torque. Get a Raby 9550 cam. |
