I have known many people that had late bus and early vanagon engines with hydralic lifters. They seem to be very reliable and they really help quiet the engine. The most common problem is with lifter bleed off wich causes a knocking sound that goes away when they build pressure. Some people say that hydralic lifters arent reliable in the type 1-3 engine but if this was the case I don't think VW would have offered them as an option in late mexican bug engines. For the most part it is neccesarry to run an oil filter with hydralic lifters as they can be clogged by very small particles ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
