thats something that should be measured when assembing the engine. nobody really has an answer for that one, depends on tons of things. what lifters you have, how much are the heads milled, what head gasket, what cam, what rockers. even with all those you should still have to measure to figure out the right preload on the lifters

Duuhhhh...oppsss ya I kinda left a lot of important info out as I will be running the new lunati street performance lifters on stock rockers, heads have not been milled and do know the preload needs to be .030-.050. I also ordered a Comp adjustable pushrod to find out as well, just thought I would ask to have something to compare to.
