I have read the instructions on various web sites and I am still confused ?
With the cam on the back of the lobes the push rods are quite free - is this the point I am meant to be measuring the gap between the piston inside the lifter and the circlip ? ( Am I right in thinking I am not measuring anything to do with the pushrod ball and the circlip ? )
On the RPI web site it mentions 108 degrees, 108 from where - valve fully close ?, and given that measuring 108 without any equipment is going to be difficult is that the flat of the cam lobe against the bottom of the lifter ?
I assume that once the engine is running the lifter fills with oil and the piston in the lifter rises so there is less gap between that and the circlip - which takes up any play.
