Converting from a hydraulic lifter to a solid sounds good , but how does that work ? Wouldn't you have to develop a new camshaft ? Wouldn't you lose some lift due to whatever valve lash you use ? Are there some stocker profiles out there that are solid but are designed for very tight lash , say under .012" . Just asking , I am interested !
