I have a cam, lifters and pushrods that are to convert my poly from solids to hydraulic. They were not offered in 1964 so my manual doesn't give any info. I was of the opinion that the procedure was to rotate the cam to baseline on a valve, tighten just to take up the slack and then turn it X turns after that. I also need the value of X if this is correct :-) Can anyone verify this or give me the proper method? I do realize the lifter needs to be pumped up for the process and I can do this by running the oil pump with a drill motor.
Any input will be appreciated.
