318 LA rebuild after losing a valve seat

Just curious as to what rockers you have now.

And for sure the lifter(s) was(were) on the base circle? I.e., no lift on the lifters whatsoever for the pushrod being measured. I just want to make sure you were not doing something like checking the #1 lifters when at TDC and #1 at overlap... where the lifters are slightly lifted.

I have the stock stamped steel non-adjustable rockers on the shaft. I'll go back tomorrow and go through the procedure again, making sure I'm starting at base circle.

The installation card for the lifters said I should soak the lifters in oil, but I've seen videos that say to install them dry? I'm thinking I should be believing the manufacturer over some Joe making videos online.
