Default Re: Adjusting solid lifters?

You can adjust them cold. We just make them a little tighter. 26 across cold is close enough. I use polylocks too. Probably adjust them every 2 years or so.

We used to run the valves on our racecar every weekend. It's not hard to do. You just have to be paying attention to where you are in the rotation, unless uyou're doing one cylinder at a time.

CSI makes a really slick gauge set with one feeler for intake and one for exhaust. No confusion on what the spec should be then.
