Lifter preload?
So what is the correct lifter preload with YT rockers? Some say zero lash then 1/4 to 1/2 turn and then 22 ftlb. Others say zero lash then 1 and 1/2 to 2 turns then 22 ftlb. Which is it?

Re: Lifter preload?
well, it depends very much on which lifters you are using.
If you are using stock lifters, they like more preload. I personally would not go less than about 3/4 of a turn on stock lifters, otherwise I would expect some noise. 1 1/2-2 turns would be fine, I think, but a little more than you need.
For Comp R lifters, I would go with approximately 1/4-1/2 of a turn.

Yella Tera's are non adjustable. You need shims or you need to buy the right size push rods! I think stock lifters like to have around .030-.050 preload and Comp R's like .010...
