Stock Hydraulic Lifter Preload Spec?

I agree; however, taking into account the rocker ratio (1.6 for me) that gives 0.075" ... I may have been a bit off on the number of turns ... maybe it was 1 1/4 which wouldresult in ).083" lash at the valve.

The cam card states for "Standard lifter pre-load" so I guess that's a bit subjective.
which would result in 0.083" lash (darn fat fingers)
