Is this because you always get full valve lift from the solid? I could be misinterpreting but my impression is that there can be some lost motion with a hydraulic lifter.
Well, not exactly but a worth mention. The hydraulic lifter is a squishy thing That has more dynamic motion that you want to calculate or think about.
The LA engines various angles from start to finish on the valve train is,,, ugly. You will loose some lift no matter how excellent your set up is. The race block is different with the 48* lifters.
With a SFT, you just have calve lash to set and every once a year or less, check and maybe reset.
I'm leaning towards a solid for my 340 build and just trying to understand the consequences of each option.
