curious about valve lash setting/check

When lifters leak down, sometimes it can take 30 minutes for them all to get pumped back up. Sounds like you're just dying to change something, so go ahead. And 3/8 of a turn? Where in HECK did you come up with that?
Rusty, I'm certainly not trying to get you upset. all the help here said 1/4 to 3/4 turn, so I went light with 3/8 in case I wasn't feeling the 'drag' correctly, just trying to be cautious.
