This engine being second series 235, from a truck. This truck would have run solid lifters. Is that considered to be bad? Other than a bit more knuckle noise while running and once a year re-setting the valves, I do not see solids as a problem. I am guessing that I should just rebuild this engine as is and not try to improve by adding other parts from other years? Unless I was planning to build a hopped up engine, which I am not, just additional monkey business to get back to a solid and rebuilt engine. Is that point in line with the thinking of other engine builders?
