Just one more reason I like my mechanical roller cams!!! Feeler gauges don't lie!!!!! We've played with valve adjustments for years. Maybe I'm a bit too detail oriented, but when I do run hydraulics, I have a stand for my dial indicatro and do the preload thing with that....
Hmmmm. Gotta wonder how many of these wiped out cam lobes we keep hearing about are from a lifter that was bottomed out instead of pumped up, then another half turn on the wrench???? I do my initial lifter adjustment on fresh engines BEFORE I put the intake manifold on.... If I can see the lifter, I know where the plunger is at......Last edited by Dave Severson; 07-29-2007 at 07:32 AM.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
