Noisy Lifters
Yes you are right, I misspoke.
I just don't like the racket they make at that light setting, and the frequency of adjustment; call me lazy. I mean the whole idea of hydraulics is quiet automatic operation, right?
I tried 1/4 turn(.010), But by the end of the summer some where noisy, the next spring they were at 3/8 turn, and wouldn't you know it, by fall,a couple were noisy again. So the next spring they were set at 1/2 turn. Then I didn't hear them for thousands and thousands of miles. And the engine still ran up to 7200, and the engine still idled at whatever,. So I settled on .020 for preload on my Hughes anti-pump-ups.
Fast forward about 10 years, and I'm hearing a couple again, but now I'm really, really lazy, so Ima justa gonna wait til a few more are noisy,heehee.
