I was never happy with the hydraulic lifters.  I replaced mine with regular
lifters and was happy ever after.

Trying to determine the best adjustment for my 2.0 liter. Reading some
articles on the type 2 site...one person says you should install the
hydrualic lfters with the small hole up...does this matter I thought they
tend to spin and move around so will it make a different. I tend to believe
that my lifters adjustments are to tight. I adjusted each cylinder to TDC
then adjusted each valve 1 and 1/2 turns in. But looking at my adjusting
screw it appears to be at its end of travel...one to two threads showing.
lifters are pumped up and not sponge. Can I get away with one turn.
