Degreeing the Cam - Solid lifters?
Degreeing my cam, and the specs call out use of a solid lifter... All I have is Hyd. I cant seem to find just one solid lifter at the autoparts store or any speed shop. All want to sell as a 16 pack. Any suggestions on how else to properly measure the lift? Can I weld up a Hyd one for measuring purposes? Thanks

Pull it apart and pack it with epoxy. Reassemble. Let it harden, done.

Just another suggestion
hello, I'm new here and this is my first post. Just my humble suggestion; most cams I have installed with hydraulic lifters suggest taking the degree wheel reading at .050" of lifter rise (minimizes easy-to-make errors on the cam lobe acceleration ramp).
That might be easier than making/buying a solid lifter for each engine application and a dial indicator on top of the lifter body is easy to set up. Good luck with your project.

Thanks, but the heads are on my engine, so that makes it aittle more challenging.
