Re: Feeler Gauge and other technique for measuring hydraulic lifter clearance

Yes, thank you. I have a version of Ross' tester which he offered a little while back (thank you, Ross) and a new set of lifters and my old lifters, and plan on finding out the very best set. But I was concerned that the last time I checked the lifter clearance I had not done a good enough job, which could be the root of the problem, so am going through that process very, very carefully this time.

I guess my only question is, if I do decide that some of the valve stems need to be shaved down, what clearance should I aim for? I am thinking 0.050", which is half-way between the spec 0.030" and 0.070".
