Yes they are.
All 1971 VW Beetle engines were manufactured with solid valve lifters.
They all had hydraulic lifters. To determine if it has roller lifters, you'd probably need to take off the intake manifold and have a look.
No, first generation 3.1 does not, second generation does.
First of all Chevy did not make a vortec engine in 1987 or 1995, those engines are TBI / Throttle body injection engines. And yes they will interchange with no problems.
The two are not causally related, however... sitting for a long time could result in both a dead battery and oil draining from the lifters.
Above 60 psi if it is a CPFI= Central Port Fuel Injection. wish I am sure it is, all Vortec engines have this CPFI.
1996 was the first year that all GM trucks went to Vortec engines - it IS a Vortec...
The "Vortec" engine is almost the same as an old school SBC, all things being such, the push rods are a little different for the OEM roller cams.
No, some are rated at 195 h.p.
They are rocker arms that go under the valve covers and make the exhaust and intake valves open. They have small rollers that have little needle bearings in them that reduce engine friction and allow the valve train to work in a smoother maner with better performance.
All engines in a 2001 Lumina use hydraulic lifters. These lifters are self adjusting. Lifter related valvetrain noise is most commonly caused by failure to replace the lifters after destroying them by excessive driving with water-contaminated oil.
The valves on all engines in a 1989 Chrysler New Yorker are not adjustable. The hydraulic lifters are self adjusting.
