I appreciate your videos, but let's not forget. The purpose of the hydraulic lifter, (roller, or flat tappet), is to ease maintenance of the valvetrain, and to quiet it down,  and so you don't have to set the lash every few thousand miles. The oil pump is going to pump oil to the rest of the valvetrain through solid lifters as well. Some people are not aware that "solid" only means there are no moving parts. (plunger, spring, retainer, etc...). They do have an oil port machined into them to channel oil through the pushrods, to the rockers. Not trying to be a jerk. I just thought that info should have been included.

Hi Pete Just wanted to tell you I have a very popular automotive you tube channel that is machine shop based I have many engine builds from start to finish I pride myself on putting out videos that have accurate info and procedures,
there are so many engine building videos that are terrible! bad lighting /bad information tons of profanity and so on however I have nothing but respect for you, your videos are very good some of the best I have seen keep up the good work well made videos and your information is spot on I always find myself watching videos and saying what is this guy talking about so much bad info with your videos I can't really find anything you have said that is wrong GREAT JOB!

[americanfreedom]

My friend went full roller with all Howard's stuff and the end result was way beyond what I ever would have thought. I run flat tappet but will be going roller next go around.

Subscribed, Pete you have the face of honesty and knowledge, been working on cars all my life but i enjoy watching others work, excellent video.

[BlytheLifeRacing]

The spring is for preload it does not act as a pump, oil pressure "pumps" up the lifter. solid lifters oil through the lifter and pushrod same as hydraulic lifters. hydraulic lifters require less maintenance to keep valve lash/preload in check, solid lifters have to be checked and relashed

[lyndonbushnell]

I never knew how important the lifters were, great information Pete.

[arlanmaxwell]

I finally know how lifters work. Thanks Pete. Awesome video

[spignetti]

I just ordered the Howard Cam link bar lifters....I just love throwing money into the Windsor! bucks Pete. It's a days wage..what the hell!! ..thanks again for the info....your vids rock!

[BigDaddysGarage]

I learn a lil something from almost all your videos. But I learned so much from this one! Thank you for doing what you do!!!

[bakesee]

Thanks Pete! I really appreciate your explanation on how hydraulic lifters function. No kidding, this has been something I’ve wondered about for decades!

Please help me clarify two details:

1. When the cam first pushes the lifter, is it hydro-locked, or does the push rod cap sink into the lifter, pumping oil up the push rod?

2. Is the push rod cap physically bottomed-out inside the lifter to cause the push rod to rise, or is the lifter hydraulically locked which results in moving the push rod?

Thanks again! This is awesome.

Thanks Pete, I had questions on what was best and why.  Another great video.

[ercost]

Best video on Youtube! Great explanation, TYVM!

[buxbbu]

Great channel, very informative. Thanks!

[MagnusDominus]

I like those aluminum heads. I was reading an article that said that the new modern heads are better than the coveted double hump fuelie heads.

[MRGreen]

Thank you for the Video. I have a Flat Tappet Ford and I am debating between buying a Retrofit roller kit vs. buying a used Short block!

[vladvulcan]

Thanks a lot, I couldn't find what a roller lifter was and what were the differences, now I know!

[RyanSmith-zqmn]

Pete, Quick question. What is the best way to estimate engine HP in the design phase? I have seen many engines built and helped during different areas of the build as my friend does dirt track racing, but this will be my first build and want it to go off without a hitch as it is going in a street car and want to make sure things are done right. Any insight and help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Also thanks for all the videos they are a great help.

[BubbaAyers]

Glad I found your video, I’ve built no telling how many flat tappet sbc engines, were fixing to convert a 78 010 high nickel block 4 bolt to roller cam for a supercharger, thx for sharing

[flinch]

And now, I love solid lifters even more...

[tonypetruzzo]

Hi Pete,   I really did like the hydraulic lifter video, all with great detailed information.  Tony
