Ring your local transport authority.

 

I'm running the usual chev lifters and datsun A12 push-rods with 4k adjustable rocker gear.

how many revs do you want to pull? My 5k would do 8000rpm regulary with hydrolics. So why bother.......

Mine's getting built with Hydraulics, I have an aircooled boxer and that's enough on the menu as far as setting tappet clearance for me....

 

I won't be revving that hard either.

i want to be reving harder than 8000 thats for sure...i have no probs with hydrolic but for revs everyone tells me to go solid

Remember 8 grand is fairly high, maybe keep it with the hydros and if you

have trouble then swap them over. It sounds like for most applications it is not worth

the effort......

yeah i biult the car for wakfield park so yeah i can do with all the revs i can get
