Well, both of them are related. Large jet liners require hydraulic power to operate the huge flight controls such as ailerons, elevators and rudders. In a conventional aircraft, mechanical linkages attached to the control wheel and rudder pedals are used to operate hydraulic control valves that in turn provide hydraulic fluid to hydraulic actuators that in turn move those heavy flight control surfaces. In a Fly By Wire aircraft, an electrical signal is generated when the same control wheel and rudder pedals are moved which in turn electrically opens or closes the same hydraulic control valves that provide hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic actuators. To summerize, hydraulic power is required in both Fly Bt Wire aircrafts and conventional aircrafts.

Is there a difference between intake and exhaust hydraulic valve lifters?

No the lifters themselves are all the same. I recommend lightweight pushrods though if you can get them and stay with hydraulic.


How the correlation between hydraulic motor and hydraulic pump?

Internally, they're pretty much the same. The difference is the operation expected of it - a hydraulic pump converts mechanical energy to fluid energy, whereas a hydraulic motor converts hydraulic energy to mechanical energy.


What is the difference between HD-46 and HD-68 Hydraulic oil?

Basically, the only difference between HD-46 and HD-68 hydraulic oils is the weight of the product. HD-46 is a 15 weight oil, but HD-68 is a 20 weight oil.

What is the difference between solid and hydraulic motor mounts?

A solid mount has no play where as a hydraulic is flexible so you do not feel the torque of the motor(what you would want for daily driver in my opinion).
