Crane Billet Lifters Preload? What is the recommended preload for the Crane Billet Lifters. A 7.450 push rod will give me .048" preload. The next size push rod that I have is a 7.5. I found some generic Crane instructions that called for .020 to .060.
Thanks guys!

I had a set of Morels delivered that I returned. Half of the rollers rolled rough. These are not the Morels. I've been told by a good source that the Crane's are not as finicky (sp) with preload that the Morels/Lunati's are. Is .098 too much?????
