Default Morel/Lunati pre-load.

Running the new Lunati high rpm link bar lifters this time around. part # 72532.

Anyone here know where to set the pre-load?

And yes I called Lunati's tech line.....I got the...."we'll, I'd try .025-.030....yeah that should be right??? I think. What is the part # again.....? HMMMM, yeah I'd start there."

Not quite definative enough for me.....anyone have a more certain # for me?

thanks.

Collin

Set the morels between .040" and .060". Ideal is .045".

I've spoken with John Callie (designer of the Morel lifter.) On an aluminum block, aluminum head motor, I'd go .010"-.020" on exhaust and .020"-.030" on the intake. Iron block and aluminum heads stay closer to .010" exhaust and .020" intake.

Thanks,
Shane
