Hold on, have you fitted solid tappets to a hydraulic cam profile?

As above....i hope you haven't done that! If not then i'd phone the cam manufacturer and not take any old advice on here as it's fairly important lol

Every cam is different so you'll need to take the dizzy off and get the number off the end of the camshaft and phone kent, piper or whoever makes the cam mate
