Subject:      clarify .006 on lifters

Hello list, and hopefully(?) Boston Bob,


Just re-read Boston Bob's lifter adjustment procedure. He says
it's good to adjust to .006 on new engines, during assembly, etc.
But, if I have a van with a nice running, several year old engine.
Am I supposed to adjust these the way he describes as "In the
Past", put at .006 until they are all pumped up, then preload them
at a later date? The article didn't explicitly state (or I'm a
Moron and can't read it) that I should do a mid mileage engine the
same as a new engine. It seems to deal mostly with proper bleeding
of lifters and adjusting them in new engines




Thanks
Myron Lind
