Solid lifters in Stock
When the rule was changed to allow solid lifters in Stock eliminator engines that were previously hydraulic equipped, did racers change cams or just install solid lifters ? What typically would they set valve lash at ? Not looking for top secret info just a general idea.
I have seen solid cams run in engines (not NHRA stockers) with hydraulic lifters that seemed to work "ok" but never the reverse procedure, |

Re: Solid lifters in Stock
Myself, I have just switched lifters. BUT, the pattern on the cam had to appear normal, I lubed the lifters just like installing a new cam. Put break in oil in the pan. Set lash and ran it for a Half hour at 2500. With a hydraulic cam there are no clearance ramps ground into it so I run lash tighter than usual. (under .010)

Re: Solid lifters in Stock
I installed solid lifters on hydraulic cam and was told by a well known cam grinder to set lash at .004 - works fine!

-With true hydraulics, the theoretical lash is '0'. In reality, there is some compression of the retained oil in the lifter. How much? .004? .006? More? less? And since the lift is checked at '0' lash.....  -Al

Re: Solid lifters in Stock
Going from non shimmed Hydraulic Roller Lifters to solid roller lifters. What would you expect to see as far as performance increase?
