I run the Harland Sharps, basically the same set up, and was running into the same problem with 1/2 turn of preload. I ended up going with 3/4 turn and no more problems since. I also had to torque the hell out of adjuster nuts has they always wanted to loosen up.

I ordered some of those fabricated Aluminum valve covers I see on Ebay. I hope to get those Friday, then I'll go back in and make some more adjustments.
If I go too tight (too much preload), what are the symptoms? bent rods, busted shafts/rockers, more noise, piston damage?
