This a link from one of our greatest forum people. I just followed and worked great. You need to know if you have hydraulic or solid lifters. At the bottom of the link is Lars email address.

Sorry about that. I'll try again. You should have hydraulic lifters no matter which engine for that year.

No, don't use the Chilton's manual for valve adjustment.

How about oil choice for the new motor. I have been reading more and more about the newer oils do not have all the additives that help protect the hydraulic lifter cams. I have read that ZR-1 oil still possessed the needed components that are easier on the cam lobes and lifters. Any comments? Or is this bull.
