preload

every shop manual and chiltons/haynes manual states 1 1/2 turns after zero lash but other people have stated otherwise, what is the proper preload for these lifters! just finished pulling the heads and doing new lifters + valves, seals, springs, and pushrods and i don’t know what to believe LOL

i am going to adjust my valves soon and i’m wanting to know if i should do it while the engine is warm or when the engine is completely cool. i see LOTS of different things on the internet.

So I finished up re-gearing my Dana 30 the other day after hours of pulling the pinion in and out to get the depth and preload correct. Finally got an awesome patter and a good number on the preload, so I tore it all down cleaned it all up, put in my new inner pinion race and bearings, installed...
