I thought you said you adjusted the lifter preload more than once? So you didn't run the engine with the valve covers off to verify proper valvetrain operation?

I'll bet you won't make that mistake again!

Yes, that's correct. I adjust them the way I have been for 20 years now...On number 1 adjust 8 of them, on number 6 adjust the other 8...But you're right, I never verified that all were moving, lol...and I won't be doing that again anytime soon....
