Subject: <VV> Re: MORE ON VALVE ADJUSTMENT?
i find that replacement type lifters(chevy V8 type?) are more touchy to get 
right hot OR cold....than good ole worn corvair ones    of course maybe i 
need 
more practice...         regards tim colson <unsnip>
I have heard and experienced some of this myself, as recently as last night 
on my '66 and in a "Techlines" question last week.  Perhaps the currently 
available lifter is semi-incompatible?  I'd be interested in hearing the 
experiences of others.  In my own case and the Techlines question, the lifters were 
Sealed Power 817s. The symptoms are: anything tighter than zero lash, hot or cold, 
running or not, the valve doesn't seat and compression is decreased.  

Anyone have any personal experience or insight?
