Reply to "Lifter niose"

I figured it out. A regular box end fits on the star bolt, and the set screw adjusts the lash. The exhaust valve nearest my head had about 10 thousandths more lash than the rest. I set it to a loose 18 like the rest. The solid lifters still make noise, but I don't think that it is any louder than the ones I saw at atco today.
Even without a gauge I could tell that the valves open about 1". This is far more than the .600 mentioned earlier in this thread.
I also gave a hard push on an open valve rocker while it was cold, and there was no give. I also discovered that my rev limiter is 8000 RPM.
