Subject: RE: Hydraulic lifters?
The problem with adding hydraulic lifters to a TR6 is that they require oil
under pressure. The solid lifters are only 'splash' lubed,

So if someone were dumb enough to keep on driving their car long distances with
a persistent oil leak . . .letting it run low sometimes. . . . you might say
the cam would be one of the first things to suffer since it isn't getting
"splashed."
I measured my valve lift and was sure that I had a lobe that was wearing
slightly. Well . .maybe not so slightly.
But now I'm wondering if ALL the lobes aren't wearing down pretty evenly
..except the one.
Oh cripes.
