adjusting solid lifters
the recommended clearances (or at least starting clearances) for the exhaust side is .010" and .006" for the intake. after setting them and re-checking them, they tick still. i started it before with a maximum clearance of .012 on the exhaust and .008 intake. that was loud.
it sounds mostly like it's coming from the exh. side, so is there a limit as to how close i can go? my .006 feeler is the smalles one in the group, i think. there might be a smaller one hiding in the stack.
i figure i'll keep adjusting in the smallest increments possible utill it doesn't tick like it's loose. If that's wrong lemme know. thanks!
