Variable hydraulic lifters for 440 engine

Big, have u ever ran them with .002 lash like an anti pump up lifter? Or is that a no no? Kim

Original Rhoads call for like .030" from TOPPED against the retaining ring, but I have ran those with less, never .000-.002" like Comp and othere recommend with their APUs. The V-Max adjusts off the BOTTOM, so I guess you could TRY them .002" off the bottom, hot, but that would kind of defeat their purpose. Maybe I will try the old original Rhoads that way in a lower RPM application like a BBM or GM 455 Buick or Olds and see. Try at your own risk, Kim :mad::thumbsup:
