setting valves? preloading lifters
#1
#2
Yes to non-adjustable valve train. Just torque them down. If you have replaced lifters, I'd suggest coating the faces with Comp Cams or CRC moly/zinc assembly lube or any other quality lube. Need to break in the new lifters while varying the RPM's between 2000-2500. I prefer to set all the lifters in some 30w oil overnight to expell any air that could be trapped in the plunger housing.
