Dear Coby & List,

There seems to be no end to "solutions" to getting the hydraulic lifters
adjusted correctly. If I recall accurately, the Hyd lifter came into
existance to "simply" provide the correct valve clearance automatically.
The thought of adjusting clearances, running the engine, removing the
plugs, checking the compression makes no sense. If adjusting initial
tolerances were this much work, there would be no Hyd lifters today.
Does the basic procedure in the Bentley work or not ?
