Doesn't matter, B/BLK,S/BLK the lifters are the same size, there's .100 travel in the piston on the lifters. The only difference is if you have 3/8" studs or 7/16" studs. 3/8 1 turn equels .050, 7/16X20 equels 1 1/4 turns. Set it in the middle and go from there. But it really sounds like you have an oiling problem.

Can't belive I just read all them posts. I would like to add some info but this thread is far two technical for me.

A hydraulic lifter whether in small or big block chevy adjusts the same. zero plus ½ to 1 turn. Anywhere close will work but may not perform as it could.
Now I think the pushrods are too long causing the plunger to bottom out siezing the springs. :lol:

This thread needs to be deleted, its not helping anybody at this point. this person was asking for help and obviously needs help. It is the object of this forum to help indivuials that are in need wether they know what they are talking about or not.

True, but heckling him and poking fun at his ignorance doesn't make it a productive thread.....

There is plenty of room for humoring and joking around in " In the pits" section of this forum without offending anyone's intelligence. Again JMO

Jeeeminy Charles, have you read this whole thing? This thing stopped being productive 4 or 5 pages ago! We all tried to help the guy, no ones even mentioned ignorance till now! If i insulted your intelligence I truly apologize, but you need to lighten up. Most of us take our humor, where we can find it! The guy says he has a shop(business?), if so then he knows how to adjust hydraulic lifters, if not, he needs to find a new line work! JMO, I think he was trolling for aggravation, and caught his limit. Let me add, that that he also knows his lifters aren*t oiling, And it ain*t because of his distributer, wiring, heads, or a bad cam. I*M more than happy to apologize to anyone I offended, but I*LL be go to He@^ if I*LL delete it!
