😆! Dude, if you decide to plant roots in SW ohio, your hired! Kil-Kare is close along with others. Eldora if you want some mud in your eyes. Don't know you, but you are us.

On a small block Ford with hydraulic I always run them 3/4 behind full lash, let it pump up and adjust accordingly from there when warm

Ronnie initially said a full turn if they weren't pumped up with fluid. We had primed it just before this

My cam instructions call for 1/2 turn. I think he mentioned 35 thousandths preload and the full turn would be close when cold

Yes sir, the way I do it in Ronnie does it is the best thing you can do on a small block Ford. They tighten up considerably after they pump up and they build the heat.
 
If anyone can guess what this was for on my engine you can win a prize!
