Ok, so I'm using a 390 for the time being, and it's one that I bought a year or so ago running and built fairly stout...10:1, 540 lift, 240 duration, runs and sounds pretty darn good.
Here's the wierd part. The guy I bought it from said it had a solid cam, and I have adjusted accordingly a couple times now, but when I went to fix a manifold gasket leak I noticed the lifters are hydrolic (correct me if I am wrong, but no solid lifter would have an
oil hole on the side and the pushrod cup wouldn't have a retaining clip, correct?)...
So now what? The engine has run for several thousand miles with .022/.024 lash. Do I remove all the lash now or just keep it as it was? What procedure do I use if I now make a change to hyrolic specs?
