Grey motor cam followers are definately solids, not hydraulic. They do not "bleed down"

sorry then I have jumped the gun and thinking of red motors and 138 red etc.  ::) :o

did the 138 red have hydraulic lifters? Im not up to the engine bit yet so I just assumed they were the same.

Only take my advice for Reds then. Definitely dont do them up with no clearance. Perhaps if stinky or someone can take that post off, dont wanna have ppl burning their valves or bending pushrods!
