Do we have hydraulic lifters on the Lycomings and Continentals or do we have to adjust valve clearance when doing annual inspections.
 
About the only engines that have solid lifters are the O-235 and O-290D. The rest all have hydraulic lifters. There is a dry lifter valve clearance established by pushrod length when assembled. Unless you have a valve hanging open or a knock, no action required.
