How much preload did the new lifters call for?

How did you check the preload?

What technique did you use to lock the polylocks down? Need to turn the nut for the final lock instead of just tightening the set screw.

I followed the instructions with the cam. It said to rotate the crank the way it normally rotates until you see the exhaust valve open then set the intake valve. Then roll it over until you see the intake open and then set the exhaust valve. I did it one cylinder at a time like that.

One half turn lash after the push rod doesn't move up and down anymore.

After I have the half turn lash then I held the nut with a wrench so it didn't turn and tightened the set screw.
