Do not tighten the nut until the plunger is right down in the lifter .
not on this engine series. The rocker is to be torqued to 17-23 foot pounds. The lifter does the adjustment
as for lifter replacement , So long as they are still in the same hole they came out of you’re fine. If you’ve mixed them up you’ll need a cam and lifters
