What exactly is the procedure for setting lifter preload.
I thought that with a valve fully closed (piston at TDC compression) you torque the rocker arm nut to 18 ft/lb but not more than 1 turn or less than 1/4 turn from first contact.
A couple of other questions:
Do the lifters need to be "pumped up" in some way before doing anything? How do you do this?
Can you simply torque them once or will torque change as fluid is forced out of the lifter?
I'm gonna go after them tonight and I hope for some quick help.
