The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Hydraulic Lifter with Solid Cam?

Hotrod beat me to it, and did a much better job than I would have.

If you have not started the engine, change the cam to match the lifters.

If you have ran the engine, change lifters and cam together.

I goofed many moons ago as a young kid (didn't know anything) and put solid lifters on a hydraulic cam. (Didn't figure that out for years) The engine never did run quite right, and had no power.

Always do cam and lifters together as a set.
