I sometimes wonder why solid lifter lash needs to be checked periodically. It certainly needs to be set up correctly initially but what would cause it to change warranting the need to recheck it? Cam and lifter wear should be negligible. I can't imagine valves seat deeper into the valve seats so unless someone is worried about the adjusters loosening, why the need? I have an FE and I have checked mine multiple times and I've never noticed anything being off by any appreciable amount. Maybe someone can help educate me.
