when you are checking the length of the pushrods how much preload is needed on the lifters i know all the roller cams i put in the turbobuicks they like between .030 and .035 preload on the lifters
any help would be great

the plunger has .050" of travel in the gm lifters

Need around .050 with the stock LS1 lifters.

I always thought there was at least .060"-.080" of total plunger travel in most hyd lifters. That would make about .035" preload about right.
