Measuring Pre-load with a dial indicator? I'm using a dial indicator to measure my lifter pre-load and want to make sure I get the right measurement. When I initially torque the rocker arm I get .023" pre-load and then the dial indicator slowly moves to .067", I suppose the lifter is bleeding down. My question is, which measurement is right? These are OEM Comp Lifters, 7.350 PR, and Yella Terra 1.7 rockers..

Re: Measuring Pre-load with a dial indicator? Ok, so go with the initial reading right after it's torqued? Also, is .010" ok for OEM replacement lifter's, seems like it would, but is there a down side.
Thanks guys,
