Aluminum cylinder heads
From what I remember..the issue with the Crane adjusters was they started making the ball and the body longer, so the old setup method of 3 or 4 or whatever exposed threads underneath, was creating a bad angle and was side-loading them too much.
Here's a pic Lewtot posted a few years back over on B-bods. The second one down is the older Crane adjuster, the newer styles are the last two...you can see the differences.On the newer ones, set them to zero-1 thread out of the hole for MOST applications or else,...snap! I emphasized 'most' because it depends on the rocker design. The key is not having the ball out too far, but not in so far as to let the pushrod cup contact the rocker..but you guys knew that:)
