I gotta be realistic, I dont think I want to tear the motor down to the point of taking the lifters back out to measure that, if I'm going that far I'll just do heads and a better lifter while im at it lol. I dont disagree, and if I had the motor out on a stand I absolutely would. But I'm hoping I can just add some length and hopefully shut up the clattering. I dont even know that clattering is the right word, more of a flutter that sounds like an exhaust leak. Just more want to check it for piece of mind. Next year when I build a shortblock I may look into that a bit more but I think at that point I'll be looking at other lifter options.

I did lifters and new trays when we did the swap, that's why im not pressed to take it all apart at the moment just to measure the preload situation. Lifters are GM Caddys. Pretty sure it honestly just needs a bit more length.
