If one did successfully plumb the holes for hydraulics, would there be enough pressure at idle to maintain lash?

Pistonbroke, did the V12's have that side hole?

Is it an illusion or is the bottom of that lifter worn kinda weird?

I would think it would have enough, newer engines the valvetrain didn't start making noise until you were into red lamp flickering pressure. Entirely a guess on my part.

If memory serves me right they do/did but it may have been in the grove. I can't imagine why you would have that one way down there. There looks to be a cover of some kind in the grove where I think the Lincoln lifters had the hole. Tim
