Tony, I bought the set of hydraulic lifters during the Hydraulic Lifter Scare of a few months ago. Remember when some folks said that they were harder to come by because the machinery to make them was getting old and not being replaced. I thought that hydraulics were be quieter and would need less maintenance. The 235 ('53 FP from a car with PG) was a preview of the '54, right? When I get my 261 in my engine stand, I'll have another look.
