I'm not sure how to take this comment, but if you have the proper engine
and it has not been modified, you have hydraulic lifters. In fact, it is
the same lifter used up to the '91 Vanagons. I think '76 was the only
year to get solid lifters in the 2.0L.

Listen here Dennis!
I post something serious only about once a month.
I expect you to get out your books and research this stuff and report
