If you want to go down, hold the lifter and turn the adjuster. Once you have the adjustment close, lock the nut securely and make the final adjustment to get them spot on. I can adjust a set in about 30 minutes from all being out of adjustment by .070 (new) or more.
James? If you run the 1 inch dia foot lifters you run the chance of damaging the cam lobes, most cams need a 1.1 dia foot because of how the flank is designed?
