You have to have a cam especially made for solid lifters. All cam companies make them, some are better than others. Stay away from Kent...

why is he thinking of getting them?

he must think there's some advantage to him, otherwise he wouldnt be thinking about getting them.

Solid lifters arent needed unless you intend to raise the rev limiter.

which on a ZVH is pretty pointless.

someone told him they are better but from what you say it sounds as if he doesn't need them. does anyone do a cam especially for a zvh engine or do you just need the cvh one? thanks

you wont really need the solids unless you have an excellent head that allows the ZVH to rev past around 7k. mine will pull 8200 rpm and has solids, they are better for high revs but need regular checks/maintenaince. and as above will need a cam to suit the lifters profile/size.

not that you'd change lifters without cam anyway would you
