Don

did i ever tell you i work at a boat yard one of the biggest in MI
now for the rest of the story. i would drink alot of rum to show up the next day to work on them SOB s .i did alot of no fun jobs. that is why it better to sit and do one side at a time .its not a car you set them at O and a 1/4 to half turn to keep them from pumping up but there s a good chance there going to make some noise . yes with less you can pop the clip out of the lifter. 3/4 is what i set them at that put the lifter valving more to center .some say it can pump up and go in to valve float i do not worry about that to much there is a rpm that the engine needs only to be ran out to .if hi rpm it gets soilds . or a short valving lifter hyd .on roller hyd i run some big lbs valve spring on them .for boat stuff and flat lifters i worry abit putting some valve spring to them. with the oil we have now .but they see more rpms then car or truck engines so it is a trade off
