You know, I’ve read people asking / talking about that but it didn’t seem to be much of a deal to me.
Right or wrong what I did was slowly tighten the nut until I could feel it come up against the much stiffer valve spring pressure. It seemed very noticeable to me when you bottomed out the lifter. From there I just backed out half of that amount. Seemed to work OK for me.
After thinking about it, I think Cliff said he he bottomed the lifter with the appropriate feeler gauge between the valve & rocker. That seems easier & maybe next time I’ll do that.
Have fun with it.
