My diesel engine has also hydraulic valve lifters. I put mechanical lifters on Vw 1.6ltr diesel engine. Those have same diameter(35mm) and fit straight in.

First off I just wanted to say that the new lower setup is ten times better than the previous. The lines fit the car better with the flares coming up to the top of the fenders and quarter. Exactly as it should be. Also the pedal assembly is magnificent.
Next, I was curious about the solid lifters. How is the lash being setup? Are you using shims? Also, what compression ratio is the motor going to be. Looks like you are going to be pretty high. Do you plan on running alcohol? You will be running a dry sump for sure. Will you lower the engine in the bay?
I know lots of questions, but as amazing as the body work has been I love the mechanical modifications.

We have made (as you se) new ones that are lighter and harder for more hp output.
