Hydraulic lifters

Post by Rob Habets »

Hi,
can i use stock waterboxer hydraulic lifters with a Engle TC-10 mild turbo cam in a 2.1 engine with stock valvetrain?
Is the lobe design compattible with the hydraulic lifter?

Cheers,
Rob

i would suggest no.
before i started checking every cam/lifter geometry i tried it and the cam went down very quickly
not hydraulic but same diameter type 4 lifter
due to the lift/lobe design it will ride on/very close to the edge of the lifter.
get som larger diameter lifters or convert to type 1 lifters is my suggestion
