Let's just say I went this route.... (These lifters were the most expensive part of this 'overhaul', not rebuild). Would I clean the oil off that they come packed in and add some drops of locktite after I am happy with my adjustments, or do I have to coat the threads and reassemble the lifter and then work fast to adjust before the stuff sets?
