Matt,
    I think the lifters are in good shape but they get
filled with oil and take time to bleed down.   I went
from one turn in to zero lash while doing the
compression test.   I am told that if I wait overnight
the lifter will bleed down????   I will keep you
informed on the list.   I am going to try to adjust
mine dynamically to see if I can get a turn and a half
into them with the engine running.   Seems like a way
to go.   gary
