Default newman cam and lifters

Im probably going to get one as have heard lots of good things about them and not so much piper and kent. The solid lifters.... what do they look like and how hard are they to set up in comparison to plug and play hydraulic ones?

if you dont know how to adjust the lifters then its very hard as they need adjusted regularly
most places will charge 2-3hrs labour as its a very time consuming job

there not hard to setup and adjust more of a pain. all you need is a feeler gauge, two 17mm spanners and a lifter clamp.
