It's just a solid hydraulic. It's possible the engine is from another year. But I'm just looking for a base-line spec that I can compare to

Thank you. Yes, I forgot to be specif, I just call flat tappet lifters "solid" because of their "solid" appearance. Not to confuse you with other lifters/cams. I was just spelling it as I was thinking it. It's one solid hydrolic lifter, I was putting "solid" in there to not confuse him with hydraulic rollers. It was just easier to type "solid" than flat tappet.
