hyd. cam/solid lifters

I have a hyd. roller cam, and have found that solid roller lifters can be ran on this cam. Does anyone know the valve lash recommended for doing this???

Re: hyd. cam/solid lifters

As Rich asked, why?

Solid rollers require maintance, and are louder. The lifters themselves will give NO performance gains. The radical cam lobes on SRs is where they make power.

Unless your hydro cam is so radical that you cant keep the lifters from colapsing with spring pressure and RPMs, it isnt a prudent thing to do.
