You learn a lot about hydraulic roller set ups when working on boat engines. These guys that run the big twin and triple
screw 500- 572 ci boats put way more of a beating on the vslvetrain than anything here. The sustained rpm and occasional prop release will test the limits of everything. We arent really discovering anything new here, other than the typical Mopar builds,up until recent couple of years, hasnt considered hydraulic roller set ups. There was a fairly significant failure rate on some cheaper built big name lifters, so that scared some people. The guys that were using hi quality hyd roller lifters did not have issues. As stated early in my other post, its all about proper choice of components and application....
