Tomayto, Tomaahto.

That's what I said!

>From zero lash, i.e., when the push rod stops turning when I use my oily
hands, 1/2 turn more. I do not have a 0.000" feeler gauge.

Besides, wouldn't the feeler gauge have the same problem with oil quantity
in the lifter? It is still lash with the lifter in the circuit.

Frank,
That method will have your adjustment all over the place if the lifters
have any oil in them.  If they don't it will have all the valves open.  I
guess if all the lifters were completely full that would work.

1/2 turn from zero lash would be the way to do it.  I use 1/4 myself. 
Works great on anything with a similar lifter.
I agree with Mark.  I'll try 1/8 on an engine with an Isky 280 I've had
issues with.

I also echo these replys. I use the 1/2 turn from when the push rod stops
turning with fingers to set cold adjustment. Then if it seems wrong after a
run in, I do a hot running adjustment like Mark wrote.

What's this 1/3 valve cover idea? If I did that, I wouldn't get the hot oil
treatments for my arms! GGGGG!
