hydro lifters and cam info

[boisfort at myhome.net (Decker)]

Hi Dan;
    I wouldn't worry about the lifters. One of the advantages of hydraulic
lifters is it is less than an hours job to change the cam in an 8v. I am
running an 272 cam in an 85 Audi 10 to 1  1800 engine in my 79 Scirocco. I
have many thousands of hard miles on it since I replaced the stock cam with
the new one.
