title says all. the MANY lifters that are out there and I can't narrow it down. HIPPO, non-HIPPO? does it really matter? my engine is an {in progress}496bbc. also, can anyone tell me the difference between the lifters with the roller partially covered, vs. the ones with the roller completely exposed? last thing... i would like to use a rev kit for "just in case" purposes as this is my 1st build, w/ hydraulic rollers? not going to be a track car. probably will never see 6000, so my question is, will a rev kit help or not? if so, which rev kit brand is most reputable? as well which brand of hyd. roller lifters?
i am completely new to this engine building scene so i am absorbing a lot of info... thanx in advance!
