| Not with hydrolics. |

| There is a sequence that should be followed that goes beyond the half turn rule of thumb. There is a place on the balancer that is marked with an XX that you should rotate the engine to before you put the rocker assemblies on. This is a place where the cam has no lobes pointing straight at the lifters making it easer to install them. Your new lifters should have a set of instructions that will cover the proper way to do it. If you just slap the lifters in and do the half turn on every one without the cam being rotated to the heal of the cam lobe then you will not get a good adjustment and risk having a noisy lifter adjustment or premature cam failer due to being to tight. Hydrolics are pretty forgiving but I wouldn't take the chance. I know you didn't want an article but I wish someone would have told me about all this before I trashed a cam. Live and learn. |
