It helps if you do the clearance checking using either a light testing valve spring or a solid lifter that sits the push rod in the same position as the hydrolic. The heavy springs may be pushing the lifter down at full lift/pressure.

I'm going to the machine shop today and will pick up two solid lifters.
the concern here is it's not quite the same as the ones I'm using.
so he's my idea. I'll get mine and measure the difference. I can turn them on the lathe to make it a little shorter, or tack on some metal on the bottom, then turn them down to size.
