I know that a mechanical lifter camshaft has clearance ramps included on each end of the lobe configuration to allow for lash, and that the overall lift also compensates for valve train lash. If you tried a set of mechanical lifters on your existent hydraulic cam, what would you use for lash on an initial effort before replacing the cam?We're talking going to a test and tune,not some kind of national event.

been using solid lifters on hydraulic cam grinds for years in street cars adjust the lash at.006".
