Thread: Solid lifter cam?

Tweet

solid lifter cams work the same as hydraulic cams for the most part..... get one made for your combo, use all new cam and lifter set, a viola.... you will have to adjust the valves about every 15k..... thats an easy cam change.... can get you a little more power..... but the real way to go would be a roller cam... that can benefit you even more power... more work and money to install one though

Yep, forget the solid cam and go roller. You can get a retro kit if your engine was non roller to begin with. Performance will be better and you won't have the click click or constant valve adjustments to do.

I grew up on solid cams like the Fuel Injection 30-30 cam, and you will become very good at removing valve covers and burning yourself with hot oil if you go that route.
