400 adjustable valvetrain
I need another opinion on this. I have had my heads machined for adjustable rockers(btw I'm running scorpion 1.73s) and guide plates. I have everything necessary for this to work. My lunati cam spec card says valve adjustment 0.00 inches. Does this refer to valve lash being set at zero lash, no preload?

. 1 turn usually spec'd on a stock engine for reliability...
. 1/2 turn is more likely to never need to be adjusted again on a performance engine than 1/4 turn...
. 1/4 turn limits how much the lifter can 'pump up' if over revved... and it recovers faster from pump up...
. Sometimes I go 1/8 turn on a hyper engine, but has to been done very precisely...
. Depends on how brave you are, your intended usage, how willing to back in for another re-adjust, etc...
