[Tigers] Lifter adjustment

[Larry Mayfield]

Well, depends on what kind of lifters you have.  Hydraulics, same as oem. Solid lifters and cam, need a few through clearance.   High performance hydraulic, look to the cam maker for adjustment instructions.

I have 289 HP heads with screw in studs.  What is the cold adjustment they should be - no roller rockers and torque settings for the heads.?  Do you have to loosen the motor mounts to get the valve covers off, lower or raise?  I would think lower to get the valve covers off.  With 5,000 miles since car has been redone, it is time for some sorting out.  The first 5,000 miles required very little and has been a blast up to 60 mph and curves so far.

 

I have changed the oil 2 times during the 5,000 miles and  what a pain it is to replace the filter with the stock set up.  If anyone could explain their process for oil filter change, that works 'easier' it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
