ls7 lifter preload
He's had it out for me ever since I corrected his misinformation a few times on various forums. I don't like it, but I am used to it. I actually try not to get involved in threads he posts on, because he tends to get vindictive and nasty. However, he drew me out on this one. I'm sure he will have a field day with the supportive posts. In fairness, all the cardo0 supporters should chime, in too.
Sorry that the OP's thread got filled up with matter off the subject.

And how 'bout shoebrain? He ever have a job?? Yea so its ok for him to attack me but im not supposed to expose his dump azz ideas like adj lifters by sound? U ever see me quote him?? No, i dont have to since his dump butt statements identify him without.
Why do i need a faster car to post the correct advice for hyd lifters??? My lifters work great. Oh, i get it. Thats the only fault u can find with my advice. Show no truth u say? Or is it share no facts?? Share only lies???

I am not a young person. I've probably worked for twice as many years as you are old (and yes, many 12 hr shifts).
I attacked you nowhere in this thread. I only responded to you when you attacked me, LOL.
Did I say something about "adjust lifters by sound" here?
Your petty name calling is sure to boost your fan club status.
Ok, so you say your lifters work great. That's nice to hear. But when others say theirs work great, too (with a differing opinion of setting them), you say they are all wrong. Maybe everyone is correct.

I retired from full time work 6 years ago......after 37 years of 8-14 hour work days, usually 6 day, and sometimes 7 day work weeks, and frequently rotating shifts on top of it all.
YOU worked a 12 hour shift?? Cry me a river.....
I dunno, as far as having a high mileage car and using how good it still allegedly runs as reference of experience, I had an '85 2.8L Camaro that went over 200,000 miles and the valve covers were never removed.

Ok so I fixed my guide plates and all is good on that front. Now I have another problem. Im almost positive my exhaust valves are hitting my valves again. I can rotate my motor and at a certain point the motor just stops. I wait a few seconds (im guessing the lifter bleeds down a little bit) and then it spins freely again. This is what it did last time and I bent the valves when I hit the starter. I have the hot cam and the .026 head gaskets with 1.7s. Should I have gone with a thicker headgasket or am I doing something wrong?

or are you saying coil bind or valve springs hitting valve stem seal?
not clear on your statement "my exhaust valves are hitting my valves again"
valve lift on hot cam is .492/.492 with 1:5....so lift stays = (but higher) as you increase RR ratio on both intake & exhaust. soooo if you feel you have valve to piston contact with your set up on exhaust...it would seem that would also be the issue on intake.
I don't know your motor build (pistons in/out of hole by ".xxX", etc.)
why are you using 1:7 RR?
have you checked your sweep pattern with those RR?
It is not wise to run 1.7 rockers without determining actual valve to piston clearance. That said, most folks run 1.6 without any issues and you should consider that as well. Sounds like your skating on thin ice with piston to valve clearance.
If a HOT cam has PTV clearance issues on a stock shortblock then I suspect the timing chain was installed out of time. PTV clearance is rarely an issue on LT1s with a lot bigger cam and lot tighter quench than stock.

I didn't think 1.7s with a hot cam would make that much lift especially since I've read other's thread about using bigger cams in stock motors. I'm going to pull the timing cover off this weekend and check the timing marks. I am pretty positive that I aligned the two dots up perfectly.

Ok shoe, what did u show up here for then? U can adjust the Comp R lifters - so what? Is that anything the OP needs. NO. No. No.
So the chronic liar uses spin for the lifter bleed down mistake he made to try and make him look like he actually knows what he is doing. Not! Poor OP still thinks it "takes a few seconds" for the lifters to bleed down and is to intimidated to adj the lifters 1 full turn. Hes looking the wrong direction for his problem mostly because of peer pressure. For some reason thats Ok with u. Or maybe u dont know better yourself.
He needs to nail his zero lash and learn to lock his poly locks securely. But the chronic liar and others feed him crap like lifters are slow to bleed and adj the preload 1/8 to 1/4 turn.
The chronic liar spins his lousy advice into something to make him look like actually knows what hes doing and all u do is take his spin to a higher level. The truth is no one can believe anything that he (or it) says now. He (it) writes he has a problem with his Comp lifter junk and then says he did had'm work'n but just doesnt want'm anymore. He (it) writes lifters take like hours or days to bleed down but now calls that a "misunderstanding". Cant believe anything he types now. And i have hard time believing anyone that runs his mouth like that can keep a job. But thats ok with u. That says to me its ok with u the OP trashes his vlv train again. Or anyone else as long as u get to shine here.
If u and googly woogly chronic loser want to talk Comp R then why dont u 2 start your own thread. See how many of your "friends" share your accomplishments.
Cardo0,
You should be an ASSet to the board and an example to us all. Please work a second twelve hour shift.
wrd1972, i did, i worked 5. Are u happy now?
And i bought 5 more auto books too. Hope that really P's someone off.

I'm not even sure he's connecting the dots between shoebox on here and his website or if he's even seen his website... If he has seen it and hes still arguing with him... I've lost all hope in this world.
