After setting the valves two turns in, you must wait if the lifters were
pumped up. The better condition of the lifters, the longer the wait. I
usually set them statically like this and wait overnight.

Subject: valve adjustment question

For solid lifter there is a gap at tdc but with the
hydralic lifter the valve is set slightly open at
tdc????   Is the valve riding in a different position
(within the hydralic range of the lifter)when the
engine is running???   My problem is that when I set
the adjustment two turns in, the engine does not run
but if I make the adjustment one turn in the engine
runs fine, good power no clatter, is there any reason
I can't use this setting?   thanks gary
