Default Re: Adjustable lifter problem

Jamb nuts have held in valve trains for billions, if not trillions of miles. Good idea, but tough to achieve with us stock cam guys. Might need to make up a special wrench. What about a shorter valve and a tall lifter with a lock nut and less surface wear? Probably little market for all the work involved.
