On the 235 I'm going to put rings in I see that the lifters have holes in them. Are they hydro? Is this good? Why did GM go to hydros? Does oil go up the pushrod to lube the rocker arms? Thanks in advance. Don | | |

They wont need to be adjusted, and they are much quieter that solid lifters. The rocker arms are fed by a tube that comes up through the head, and those feed the rocker arms. hope this helps, good luck.

After two years of having my newly overhauled 235 six lifters leaking down-especially in during the Winter months- I installed solid lifters and had no more problems. Sure the solids are a little more noisy but that's how a 62 Chevy truck is suspose to sound. I swapped the lifters after consulting the experts there at Stovebolt.com and boy do they know their business! | | |
