Bruce,
You should have checked the preload as a precaution
specially when a different cam has been installed.
The preload should be checked with the lifters empty.
The gap of 0.5-1.5 mm is measured between the spring and the upper
outside ring of the springseat of the lifter.
Adjustments can only be made by way of shims under the rockerpedestals
or adjustable pushrods.

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
