Lifters & adjustment
Okay im having issues with lifters going bad. I have non adjustable harland sharp rockers. So when you find zero lash & just begin to feel resistance on the pushrod its another 1 1/2 turns till the bolt bottoms out & you tighten it to 22ftp. Harland sharp says it should only be 1 full turn past zero lash when the bolt bottoms out. So my question is, is the additional 1/2 turn to tight & making my lifters wear out prematurely?

Not sure exactly. I missed a gear a month or so ago & it floated the valves. Didnt mess up right away. Their just ticking more than usual. & lost alot of power & runs ruff. Also pops out the exhaust when i shift. Im pretty sure its from me missing a gear, i didnt think 1 1/2 past zero lash was to tight. I just need to learn to put it in the right gear lol

Ive had all the rockers lose & readjusted them. From visual the springs looked okay & the push rods looked good also. Im gonna pull all push rods tomorrow & check them. How can i tell if its the lifters or the springs? Without pulling the heads off & taking them apart to check each spring?
