I have a horrible clacking sound coming from my engine.. i have tracked it down to the valve train (and no one try to say its anythign else).. The preload for these lifters is recommended 1/2 turn on the rocker arm.. It seems that i have a slight ticking noise and split blms... The Lterm driver side on datamaster seems to be constantly running lean and the injector pulse is always a tad higher.. Funny how the ticking and lean condition are on the same side.. Ok now the fun part.. I have adjusted these numerous times but to the same preload of 3/4 turn, aparently that didnt work.. so how much preload do you all recommend? 1/2 or what? Im currently adjusting them now so some speedy advice would be appreciated.. Shoebox? you around? Altjar?

 

WEll well well.. Seems to be an exhaust leak.. the rockers were indeed making noise though.. hmm now to track down this leak.. I feel ****in stupid.. owell **** happens..

 

hmm i did my preload to 1/4 turn. can too little preload take away from your hp?

 

no
