I have never received a response from anyone when I made the suggestion that I am going to now repeat. I can only assume people think my suggestion is silly or I'm joking or whatever, but it works well, and I'm not ashamed to repeat it. I fully agree with above explanations of how the misaligned dual threads work in adjustable lifters. But, how much missalinement tension is enough. You can be 100% sure your adjustment will not change if you do this.

After I make all adjustments to the valve train I lock the threads of the screws by hitting them with a jet of carb cleaner to make them oil free. I then put a dab of slow cure JB Weld on the screw threads below the screw head and down to the lifter top. I have tested this technique with 100% success over a ten year period, with no JB Weld failure, and no lash changes. On removal of the lifters for reuse, a short time on a wire wheel will remove the JB and your all set for the next use in another engine if you want.

Now, has anyone else done this? Be brave and tell us your experience.
