Comp R preload is .002 - .008 or less than 1/4 turn to torque spec after zero lash. It was a pain.

Yea I'll be there but my car has been down for over a month has it is. I'm pretty sure I have a bad lifter so my car won't be there. I've heard from a couple guys around here that my car is one of the best sounding ls1 cars they heard idle anyways. It chops pretty good.
