RE: Solid Lifters vs Hydraulic for a Poly 318

["Hall, Ricky L" <ricky.l.hall@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Good article - I figure why mess with a good thing - it was designed for solids.  Even though not looking for high rpm, just a good running and sounding engine.  That was the first time I ever worked with solids.  Fun engine to work on !  ; )

Reminds me that Steve Dulcich had a column about this years ago.

Sounds like you and your wife are pros at valve adjustment! So why switch to Hydraulics? 

Great homemade valve adj. tool btw. :) 

Thanks,
