Default Solid Lifters

The only thing that sounds better than a high horsepower engine is a high horsepower engine with solid lifters. Love the sound of the gentle tapping.

Any experience on how often (after how many miles) will the FE valves need to be lashed?

I read about the "tapping" noise that solid lifters can produce. Any input on the noise factor?
