what process do you use to adjust valve lash on these things, 302 stocker sherman lifters ,screw in stud w/poly locks. The card that came with them said .013 to.015, set to -.005. That was farily easy on the engine stand with dry lifters you could feel the .013 spring deperssion and with a dial indicator on the spring you could collaspe the lifter and backoff the .008 to get bach to -.005. Now the engine has been run and is in the car need to reset lash. The lifter now has oil under the cup, hard to feel the small spring depress and almost impossiable to get to each valve with a dial indicator. ther must a better way to do this.

ps excuse my typos and spelling not much at this keyboard thing

thanks
