Does anyone know of any precautions / adjustments to make when you use clay to check the valve clearance on an engine with hydraulic lifters? Does the lack of hydraulic pressure in the lifters cause the measurement to be inaccurate? Are there any good books/info sources on this topic?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Marc
