Solid Lifter Adjustments. How often....??

[Katmandu]

I'm looking for a "new" Cam/Lifter/Spring combo for my 347 Stroker build up. It's a 78 Block so Rollers are out.

I would really like to get a Solid Cam/Lifter setup, but my buddy says I'd be under the hood all the time adjusting the valves.

What's the scoop on the maintenaince schedule on Solid Lifter adjustments ??

Solid roller technology has come a long way, you will need to check lash after the first 2 heat cycles.

Then you will find they really should not need to be adjusted that often, I still like to check them every month or 2 on a street car.

very simple to set up, no maintenance.

I run them on my 351W and although I check them at least once a year (on a mostly track only car), they usually don't need much or any adjustment. I don't think I've had one vary by more than 2 thou, and it's entirely possible that I got that kind of variance when I set them.
