I dont agree with preloading a (race) lifter ever as oil pressure can pump it up and hang the valve open causing a sealing issue, and if your hearing lifter clack you have either more
than .002 clearance or the best hearing known to mankind. most solids are barely audible
at .014 with open headers. just my $ .02
