Hydraulic lifters

Has anybody found a hydraulic lifter that would replace the solid lifters on a BD240 engine? Just curious. Would be nice to not have that lifter noise.

Re: Hydraulic lifters

Cam profile is different for hyd lifters, so no hyd will work with the cam that is made for mechanical.

Re: Hydraulic lifters

Where does a hydraulic lifter get the oil for the cushion? Does it come from a drilled oil gallery? Does Old IHC have an oil gallery suitable for supplying oil to hydraulic lifters?
