Rocker Arms ???
Below is a sentence from one of Lars' Tech articles.
Every "Lars technique" I have ever used has worked beautifully.
The instant you feel the “twirl” friction change between your fingers, you are at “0” lash. STOP. Now, notice the position of your ratchet handle. Tighten the nut exactly ? turn from your current position.
I do not know why, but when I open the article in the Tech Section, there is a question mark as to how far to turn the nut past zero lash.
What do most recommend? 1/2, 3/4, or a full turn ?
I am going to adjust my rockers today according to Lars' technique.

Everyone seems to have a different opinion on hydraulic lifter lash. I do 1/2 turn.
Looks like Lars and I agree....

Just finished.....As usual, worked like a charm!
About 3/4 turn past 0 lash did the trick. Idles perfect...no TICKING !
Runs like a Striped Azz Ape !
