mechanical or hydraulic lifters

Oct 11, 2004 2 Replies

There is only one advantage to solid lifters, that's if you need absolutely maximum RPM from your motor. Only in a racing application would you even consider them, that is unless you like ticking noises from your motor and frequent adjustments. Just buy a high quality set of hydraulics and adjust them once.

I am rebuilding a 400 small block Chevy and was wondering which type of lifters are best to use and what the advantages are between different lifters.



thanks
