"Didn't seem to change anything from the previous way I had them set, but a few thousands up or down a ramp would really be difficult to tell by sight I guess."

Exactly...on a hydraulic cam, a few thousandths isn't going to hurt anyone, especially when you can jump from 1/4 turn preload to a 3/4 turn preload and vice versa.

Where it does matter is on a solid cam, and a few thou lash could actually change some engine parameters.

Glad you got her buttoned up Wayne.....let us know how it runs when you light a fire in it.
