Re: adjustable lifters
If you can get an older “Motors Manual” they show a sequence where you only have to turn crank 4 times to adjust all valves. I used it and it did save time.

Re: adjustable lifters
Be careful, some methods do NOT put the cam exactly on the heel center.
You will NOT get an accurate adjustment that way. |
