I'm trying to understand the difference between a blocked hydraulic and a solid lifter. To
my way of thinking they are one and the same.I've ran both on the same cam and don't see why you have to run valve lash on the solids. With them checking cam lift at zero lash I don't like giving up any lift or duration at the valve.With our current combo the solids are definately better above 7000 than the hydraulics.Anyone out there running solids at zero lash that's willing to share.
