Looking at a 59 truck 235
Is there an easy way to determine if its hydraulic or solid lifters?
thanks guys | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy thekid1950, the easiest way I can think of is to remove the side cover and look at the top of the lifters where the pushrods sit on top of them, if they are hydraulic lifters they will have a small wire clip on the top of the lifter that clip allows you to take the lifters apart and clean the components, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,294 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,294 | You can determine it by taking off the valve cover and apply downward force on the push rod side of the rocker arm. Hydraulic lifters will collapse when you do this. Solids won't.
