Valve Adjustment?
I have a hydraulic roller cam with pedestal mount rockers. Once I turn the crank so that lifter is on the base circle of the cam, I tighten the bolt to 17-23 ft/lbs? Is that all there is to it. Thats what I decyphered from a book I was reading. The book confused me by talking about useing a feeler gauge to check if the pushrods are the right length. I only have 50k miles and the pushrods don't have any visible wear, so I think I am ok with that. I just want to be sure. Is there anything else I should know about adjusting the valves? What is the best way to prime the lifters? How do I know if a lifter has gone bad?
