Well golly. All I was pointing out, with some background, was how a noisy hydraulic lifter situation was solved on another engine. We were ready to spend $600 for solid lifters and pull the heads to change the suckers when this type of adjustment came up.
I recall now where this method is used in race engines where hydraulic lifters are required and these engines are spinning to 7,000 rpm.
Same here except I told 'em I'd do a hydraulic roller if we bushed the lifter bores ($800). In went the solid cam. Though now I've completely solved the problem. I just don't build engines for someone else anymore.
