Will too little preload cause valvetrain noise? I know this has been beaten to death but i couldn't find anything by searching.
I checked my preload today and have a little under 3/4 turns using stock 5.3 lifters, tfs heads, and harland sharp rockers. Would getting that up to 1 1/4 of 1 1/2 quite my valvetrain down?
Thanks in advance

Stock runs more preload then what you have for different reasons...one being noise, or rather less noise.
