COMP "R" LIFTERS

I was wondering what most people were running as far as preload for the comp r lifters. Thanks for any info.

Comp claims 0 lash - 1/8 turn is where it should be set.

Seeing how 1/8 turn should do it would 1/4 turn be over kill or just added assurance. Or would the 1/4 turn cause the valve to stay open?

I hear nothing but bad news about the Comp "R's". Hard to adjust the lash as well as them coming loose. I dont know anything about them but hearing that soo often id be scared to run em. Maybe people just dont know what they are doing? lol I keep hearing the way to go is the Comp or Crane OE replacements.
