As long as you keep good oil & prime the motors after they set a while & don't beat on them with cold oil the bottom ends are pretty solid.
I check lash every 20-25 hrs, Replace the springs and send the rockers to be tested and rebuilt every 75 hrs, replace the cam, lifters, springs and rockers every 150 hrs, Would be a lot less work running hyd! Any thoughts ?? |
The problem is mainly the amount of moving parts. Hyd lifters would ok but the main reason for checking lash is to try & catch parts wearing out or if your lucky getting ready to break. I would leave what you have if it's working ok. If you hard you should really do everything your doing already. I dont think hyd lifters would save you any work.
