[T2] Hydraulic lifters

[Jamie]

well.. all that might be true,,, the wear during cold start.. and allowing 
the engine to idle to warm up does a lot of damage to the cam.... as the 
lobes rely on splashing oil to lube them,,  as well as todays oil without 
zinc... so the hardening process isn't in place to boot!
if you start the engine, and drive off... it warms up faster. and has splash 
from the crankshaft..
