cossy solid lifters ???
hi guys i have got a 4x4 saph and is aiming for a revy 450 bhp
iv decided to go for solid lifters, i will be seeing close to 8k rpm. however i hear stories of using ford 1.8 diesel ones with the shims at the top. how compatable are these for that kind of rmp?
i got double valve springs, but are they still too heavy? last thing i want to do is loose a shim!
also iv herd of converting standard hydrollics to sollid with a piece of small steel rod fitted to the middle (shimed to length obviously)
any advice would be apprieciated
thanks ....mart

The boost pressure is more likely to be an issue rather than the slight increase (if any at all) in weight over a hydraulic item.

its bad to say on a cossie espesially but i want to keep it cheap for now as i wanto grind the shims my self, and theirs plenty of room for error, but im tryin to contact various places to see what they offer. Newmen cams hav a set of easy adjust lifters???
im still interested in the ford diesel ones tho, im gonna go down the scrappy and retrieve a set to piss about with i think. Mainly to compare the weigts, and to see how far the shims are out
