solid lifter ?s

[tyrannix]

just trying to locate any references, sofar google and wikipedia are failing at life

so from CA experience, how often should solid lifters be adjusted? (or, im asuming more that its a case-by-case basis and you do it as a PM procedure.)

and i havnt had any experience with one yet, how exactly would you adjust one?

(links to articles and/or pictures would be great)

all had what looked like good information, but they were talking about pushrod engines, not OHC

its kinda looking like a solid lifter would be more prone to failure at inopportune times than a hydraulic one, but there must be a reason that the VG uses them

They dont use them in stock form. Only with aggressive cams. I know Ferrari's have solid lifters and they need a lash adjustment every 6k miles I believe. Not positive on the time frame though.

VG/CA/RB all use hydraulic lifters in stock form. It's really only a concern with high lift, high revving motors. In all actuatlity, the stock hydraulic lifter is probabally safe to 8K RPM.

yeah, sofar im going with the tomei 10.25mm lift on both in/ex (260 in 270 ex)

plans arent solidified yet, i havnt bought the cams, but im thinking move the powerband up, the goal is a halfway streetable race engine (of course the compromise is less total power by making it streetable, i can deal)

but aside from my perticular application, im trying to get information, links, pictures, whatever (and then its searchable for the future)

Tomei specifies whether it's cams to go with solid or hydraulic lifters. The ones you are looking at I beleive call for solid lifters.

I believe that he's wanting to know what the maintenence interval is on solid lifters.

exactly, the 10.25 lift tomeis only come for solid lifters, im unfamiliar with them, trying to find good information sources and anyone whos had experience with them for maintenance intervals, what to expect, etc (and links/pics )
