Ken,

It probably has more to do with the cam grind than the solid lifters, but it
looks like a cheap way to squeeze more power out of the wbx'er.

No valve noise at all.  They're all adjusted to .006" (like a bug) and
happily doing their job.  We'll re-adjust them at 500 miles and again at
3,000.  I doubt they'll need to be adjusted as much as bug valves due to the
consistent operating temps of the wbx'er.  We'll see...

Cheers,

Jeff

Jeff,
Fascinating. So you credit the performance improvement on the solid
lifters? What did it do to valve noise?
