Switch to solid lifters with oem cam?

Isn’t solid going to have it’s own tick due to having to have lash clearance for heat expansion?

I am not against a little tick, as long as it’s not attached to a big boom lol.

More important is making sure oil pressure is getting everywhere...

on another (unrelated) note What ever happened to you on the Tractor forums? I'm still there and still messing with my Ariens, New holland and Kohlers.
