Jan, I think the Lycoming book requires the valves to be adjusted every 250 hours.
The reason they went with solid lifters was the same reason the racecar guys
all have solid lifters, power response. BTW, all BMW's used to have solid lifters
(some still do) it's not that big of a deal to keep them adjusted and actually
adds performance.
See ya!

Great response - I assume that everyone likes this engine because there =
were no negatives posted. Those of you that flew behind this engine: =
how often do the valves need to be adjusted and how much work is it?
