Solid Lifters?????

I have heard about the HLA's when they tick they are stuffed but what will stuffed lifters do to the engine?

and can you buy solid lifters for out car?

they tick because no oil gets in because the passages are clogged. I don't think solid lifters are availble

Actually, I've heard from a Mazda technician that you can use the solid lifters from the B2200. They make their own noise, and you WILL have to adjust the valves periodically. I didn't get a whole bunch of details out of him about what needs to be done to switch them out though. Presumably just get the solid lifters and change them out. Anyone know more about this?

A few weeks ago a guy on this board with a B2200 said that his engine had HLAs, not solid lifters.......but I believe the consensus was that the trucks had a 8v motors.

here's the thread:
