There seems to be a number of lifter threads lately questioning the hydraulic lifters consistinancy. Am I wrong in thinking one should just go with a hydraulic roller cam/lifter set if doing a cam swap?
Well no
That's still hydraulic,
The poor quality of hydraulic lifters applies to both hydraulic flat and hydraulic roller lifters.
A lot of people are running hydraulic roller cams with solid roller lifters.
The main benefits of doing this is
You benefit from the lifters being lighter and
Because of the hydraulic roller cam profile being gentler less aggressive then a solid roller cam profile you can run the same spring pressure as a hydraulic roller which makes it live happier on the street
And the best part is no more hydraulic lifter issues!
Plus you will pick up a little Hp
Win Win...
