Need a bit of guidance

Thank you TB
To jello
Furthermore, doing the math; say a lobe lift of .380 and a lifter travel of .080, can you see where this is going?
Setting the valves for the first time with dry lifters can be a treat, no doubt.
And also, on an engine thats been recently run, theres not likely been any bleed down at all
The absolute only time the rocker arm is/could be loose, is with the lifter on the "backside of the cam" ergo on the base circle, and at or near zero lifter preload.
