Preload

["Bruce" <brucemills@dccnet.com>]

I am dealing with a Rover 3.5 with hydraulic lifter (new) which have been
soaked in oil and the push rod then used to pump them up (air worked out). I
found the following on the internet a while ago and it is referring to
preload

"the gap measured between the spring clip and the top of the push rod is
0.5 - 1.5 mm?

All I have done is to put the lifters/push rods and rockers on and torqued
them to the specified torque. Is there something else I should have done?

Thanks

Bruce
