RE: Best Solid Lifters?

Yes..the Crane ones are the shell type. Yes, the geometry is "nicer". But I can't help but wonder if any solid lifter is better than a hydraulic lifter in these engines as oil pressure seems so different depending on stock pumps, HV pumps, HV/HP pumps, etc. How could you ever tell what was going on? Sure, solid lifters are better for high RPM's, but not many of us push our "antiques" that high. I like them because when I adjust valve lash, I'm enjoying myself...and I know what i've got when I'm finished. Maybe I'm foolish and old-fashioned...maybe just plain eccentric, but I like solid shell lifters the best.

I do have a question about lifters and cams myself though. Can roller rocker arms be used with solid lifters? I always wondered that the "clackety-clack" of valve lash might be hard on the little roller.
This thread, so far...
