Subject:      lifters for new engine?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

On my rebuild, i am pondering the potential lifter
situation - hydraulic or old school mechanical.  I'm
getting ready to get a new cam, and am trying to
decide which grind to get.


Obviously, hydraulics get that whole "don't really
need to adjust" thing, but also get the "random
clacking on startup" thing.
Mechanical lifters get the "it doesn't really clack"
thing, but gets the "you have to adjust it every 3k
miles" thing.


Which would you guys go for, and why?  I'm not hung up
on it one way or the other, but if you peeps can show
me a compelling reason to go one way or the other, i'd
appreciate it.


Thanks,
-Damon
