Hi all. Thanks for responses to my last lifter question. Still need to be clear on something though.... I preloaded "soft" lifter which took play out. When set to orig. adj. it was noisy again. I will try driving it longer (40 min.) this way to see if lifter goes back to normal. (has done this in past). But if not..... If I preload lifter and leave it that way, in theory and all things being equal, is there enough travel internally in lifter so that it will keep "self adjusting"? i.e. it won't start keeping the valve partially open if it pressurizes back to orig specs? Sorry, but having trouble wrapping my brain around this...... Questions galore, Neil.
