If I recall accurately, the Hyd lifter came into existance to "simply" provide the correct valve clearance automatically. The thought of adjusting clearances, running the engine, removing the plugs, checking the compression makes no sense. If adjusting initial tolerances were this much work, there would be no Hyd lifters today. Does the basic procedure in the Bentley work or not ? Regards, JP |
