I have a few questions when I adjust my adjustable pushrod checker to zero lash how tight do I make them,( I am doing this which each cylinder at TDC) I heard I tighten it till I can't spin the pushrod? Is that correct? The reason I ask is I adjusted the pushrod to zero and took it out and added .035 to the length and just wanted to check the preload on the lifter itself and it was nothing. So should I go off lifter preload or just length of pushrod at zero and then add .035? I have a stock cam with stock lifters. If I haven't run the engine for 4 months will the lifters have lost their prime? I just wanted to find out because the preload right now on my lifters is around .125. Thats probably why the car lacked power. Last question is once lifter travels over the lobe on the cam its the same until it starts to go back up it correct?
