ZZ3 roller lifter question
confused 
Can someone provide info on the PROPER setting method of the ZZ-3 roller lifters.
I have read (multiple places) Zero (0) lash (felt by twisting/pull-push on push rod )
to Zero (0) lash then + 1/4 turn to Zero (0) lash + 1/2 turn.
what am I to believe?
Thanks,
Chuck

I believe GM manual states 0 lash + 1 full turn. I always adjust mine to 0 lash + 1/2 turn. Do this with the engine warm. The 0 lash is determined by rolling the pushrod between finger and thumb while tighening down on the rocker nut ever so slighty until you feel drag on the push rod.
Hope this helps,
John
