Collasped Tappet clearance
My manual says .185 Max. Is there an acceptable range or do you shoot for .185
Also way to measure it is let the intake rise then fall then another quarter turn to start the compression stroke right ?????
I have .030 over size(length) pushrods and Im getting a collapsed tappet gap of I- .106 E .067
Lifter preload I .140 E .165
This is with Matt's stage I cam
