Adjusting solid lifters?

Maybe it is just me but if my mechanic friend is asking for specs does he have any experience setting solids.
Yes I am old school and we always set the 302's running & hot and they were checked after me until I got the feel for this. I understand the cold process outlined in the link but
it is not something today's mechanics do on a regular basis.

Have to agree with the part about using this mechanic to adjust. Not trying to be arrogant, but personally would rather have someone with experiene doing this.

As for adjusting hot and running, I have seen lots of guys doing this, even used to have a torched out valve cover so we could do it that way. Still very messy, no matter how you do it. IMHO, hot and still is the best method.

Where in Texas are you? I can refer you to a good mechanic in Austin that can set them correctly. Has 30 years experience with GM muscle.
