Hi Folks<br>
<br>
I'm doing research on the Tucker engines, the original rear mount and the later design used in production. I would like to learn more about the hydraulic valve mechanism and the configuration of the rear mount design. Where can I look and are there any experts on the details in this group?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

HYDRAULIC VALVE LIFTERS
by Aussie Rosco » Sat Jan 05, 2002 9:43 am
JUST ABOUT EVERY CAR ON THE ROAD USES THESE. WHEN THE AMERICAN<br>
V8 ENGINES WENT TO OVERHEAD VALVES IN THE EARLY TO MID FIFTIES THEY STARTED TO USE THESE LIFTERS.<br>
IF YOU WANT TO SEE THEM, ANY WORKSHOP WOULD HAVE THEM IN STOCK.<br>
I DON'T KNOW IF TUCKER WAS THE FIRST TO USE THEM, BUT HE MAY HAVE BEEN THE FIRST TO USE THEM IN THE AUTOMOTIVE WORLD.<br>
I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE TUCKER PRODUCTION ENGINES USED THEM.<br>

lifters
by chris » Tue Jan 08, 2002 11:31 am
they work perfect all the time need no adjustment but be carful they need clean oil and good oil preasure. and that is it you wont get the performence of a solid lifter but hydralic ones like on a tucker arent in need of adjustments to keep performing good.<br>
hope I helped you out. <p></p><i></i>
