I've heard newman are gonna make some for there cam soon to be sold as a kit, supposed to be be as good as the solid uns but obvio no setting up hassle etc- only wot i remember reading some time ago though so might be worth looking into.

Anyone know if there's any truth in Newman making Hydraulic lifters? I'm after a Newman cam but don't want to go with Solid lifters :s

sorry to jump on to this thread but if you fit solid lifters, do you have to adjust them after theve been fitted or just set them up and forget about them??

I'll be honest with you, they're probably all equally as good as eachother, after all there's not much to them.

What sort of setup have you got and what's the age on the cam?

I see a lot of adverts for hydraulic lifters but few for solid lifters.
When do you need / have to have solid lifters. I am looking at BD16+ inlet and BD14 exhaust cams... Do I not require / nice to have or have to use solid lifters...
Any advice based on your experience guys ?
