He may be right. Most of the guys running hydraulics on the FE Forum will have 90 or less. I run 60 with my solid. More than a few guys are running 70s with hydraulic rollers. You can start with 90, and if you find your oil consumption is high, or oil drips out of out pipes, go smaller. Personally, I would listen to the fella that built it.
