WRONG again even with US specs. Stop picking at everyone altough your out on thin ice.

Rebuilding a hydralic head to mechanical lifters using existing parts from the hydralic head and using a solid lifter cam gives exact same valve lift as the same cam gave in a solid lifter head.

The hydralic cam has a smaller base circel from the beginning soo you even has to remove some material inside the lifters too be able to use VW normal valve adjusting shims. 

Tuned too correct spec there is no difference in function between the converted head and a true solid head. Biggest difference is that it's possible too use the natrium filled exhaust valves from the G60 motor if you boost your motor.
