Lifter slow to pump..

Pulled the lifter through the head today. Looks beautiful. So that’s good news. I took the lifter apart and it was very clean inside. Nothing unusual for a 300 mile lifter. I started it up after soaking the lifter. Pretty bad tick. Shut it down after 30 seconds. Put some turns into the adjuster until I could just barely roll the pushrod with my fingers. Much much quieter. It does concern me that I’ve got 2-3 turns more than the others. But whatever. I’m going to run it and see what happens. I don’t think it’s bottomed out or anything. Thanks for he tech help. I learn Ton from you guys.
