Default Roller lifter pre-load on a Windsor?
Just changed the cam and roller lifters, Comp Cams, in my 418. This is a retro fit roller motor.

Have a lot of different numbers on the pre-load for the hydraulic roller lifters. Everything from a quarter turn to a full turn on the poly-lock nut. I also have a Ford manual and it say .030 to 0.045 thousands down on the plunger. I know that 2 flats on the nut is about 120 degrees and is .030 to .035, which is where I just set them.

So am I OK or do I need to redo? Any expert help before I button this up. Intake is still off so everything is easy....now.

Thanks,
