I took out the spring and check valve found a spacer that fit right in perfectly. Working it now.

I agree its easy. just need to be super careful with the check valve and CLEAN.

I am confused as to how that tool would help my situation with regard to checking valve to piston clearance and pushrod length I can measure the cam lobe lift with a mag. base dial indicator. I have already measured the cam and checked the intake centerline. Now that that is set I need to make...

Yea. I think I will give that a shot. I really didnt want to disassemble the lifter but I think I will.

I have them. I still need a firm lifter for accurate lift. Yes, I could use a dial indicator on the retainer, but still need accurate lift.

Need more help here. I'm installing a Howards hydraulic Ratter cam in my 340. I need to check my valve to piston clearance and get my pushrod length figured out. I have decked the block for finish so I could use SM closed chamber aluminum heads and Crane roller rockers that came with the engine...

That's Mahle I have. It supposed to be .040.

Running 2316 forged pistons on H beams. I have a set of Mahle head gaskets that are supposed to be .040 thick but I don't know how much they will compress.

I wasn't getting a warm and fuzee feeling when I called and spoke with Tom so I canned the Hughes idea and went with Howards. Nobody had what I was looking for so I settled on a Rattler cam lifters and lube 718001-09. If I think I need more lift ill go with 1.6 rockers. All in stock at Summit...

The engine did have a solid cam in it when I bought it. I like the idea of a quiet maintenance free cam, if I can have it. The cam That was in it had the following stamps on it. I actually considered putting hydraulics on it. I have not determined the profile of it yet. I can only assume its a...

Roller wasnt in the budget. But, yea.

Yea, I'm not sure. I guess ill wait and see what Howards says.
