Quick lifter question, just to make sure i understand
them correctly - if you take off all the pre-load, the
will return to their "longest" state on their own,
right?

For example, if you purchase a mystery van, and don't
know the history of it, can you back off all the
adjuster screws all the way to get to a known starting
point on the lifters, or will they stay partly
compressed?
