Re: Limitations of the hydraulic valvetrain

Like RallyBob sez there's a lotta weight moving.
That's the real problem w/ hyd cam parts.
The blessing being not having to check valve clearance occasionally
Which on a street car w/ a EG33 I wouldn't wanna do. Motorcycles can be bad enuff. Or even solid roller small block chevy.
If you're into check valves go solid for more consistent valvetrain action.
Why lots more lift instead of a combo of lift and dur + increasing LSA for the boost be more effective?
I'm guessing you got aftermarket ECU, what ya running?
btw custom length s.s. valves are about $720 for all 24.
which is why I didn't go w/ then for these heads.
