Just out of curiousity can a person put solid lifters on a hyd. flat tappet cam. If so how does you know what to set the lash at? Are there any performance advatages to this?

I don't think you can do that.

If you don't get the correct answer you might ask over at Hardcore.

I have heard of it being done. Whether they did it "RIGHT" is the key.

I'm assuming it depends on the metallurgy of the camshaft.

I'd ask the company you bought the cam from...
