Lifter Adjustment - My Way!

If I am using a hyd. roller for the street I almost allways adjust toward the bottom. If it's a question of maximing power then I will restrict plunger travel to 10 -15 thousandths and adjust with a small amount of lash say 2 thousandths. Have been up to 7800 rpm that way.

Maybe david does or doesnt prefer this method any more and so Ill ask, david vizard "do you still prefer this method"?
