I dont think the hydraulic lifters appreciates 7700RPM.:nonono:
It really performs well in the upper rev range:thumbs:

haha you and me both bud, the best I can do for now is use brand new lifters, hopefully I can find a decent set to upgrade to later down the line.

are you going to fit solid lifters? im thinking of doing that to rase the rpm to a similar level on my car seeing as the 2.5l seems to not drop torque as quickly as the larger engines :rollsmile:

Couldn't you use the solid lifters from the S50?

That actually may just be the solution to my problem! Will have to find a set hopefully in the morning. :ty:

What about fitting a M52 crank ?

If I were gonna stay N/A, that would of been in the budget, but this motor will see boost in the future, so ill be happy with the current power until later this year. :joy:
