Re: Starting my engine build

When you mock it up to check the valve to piston clearance you need solid lifters to replace the hydraulic ones on that cylinder. Solid lifters have no play in them. Hydraulic ones might compress a bit skewing your clearance check.
You're just looking for accuracy.
Besides you'll need a couple to degree the cam in.
