I'm looking at a Cobra with solid lifters but am very hesitant do to the constant adjustment required (maintenance) over hydraulic lifters and the necessity to have a bronze distributor gear. I've read over the years on CC the nightmare people have experienced with this setup. Since I'm not "Mr. Good Wrench" and would rather be driving instead of tinkering, should I heed my gut instincts and run from this type of setup? Is there any upside to solid lifters for street use? Would it be expensive to switch this setup out to hydraulic lifters?
Thx,
