I agree!! Solid lifter setups aren't that
hard to deal with as long as it easy to
get to get valve covers off in your installation and your rocker arm setup is
fairly good in maintaining a reasonable
valve lash adjustment. Having an easy
means to bump the starter when you're
underhood makes lash adjustment that
much easier. Improvements in hydraulic
lifter valve trains in recent years have
diminished much of the advantage of solid lifter trains, but I love the noise of
solid lifter trains, the clicking sound they
make adds so much to the "classic" hot
rod experience and it sounds rather
intimidating to the opposition!
