Default Flat tappet cam
Hi guys,

Just bought a 408 stroker, the guy who I bought it from said it has a flat tappet cam in it. What does this mean? He had it apart for me to inspect and it looks like the lifters were hydraulic, is that right?
It has 1.6 roller rockers, are they adjusted in the usual hydraulic way? ie nip tem up, the 1/4 turn more, the lock them? or is there supposed to be a gap?
I'm several months away from installing the engine, so I won't do any damage YET!
Simon

Oh yes, the lifters do NOT have link bars.
