solid lifters C1

[John S.]

I am asking if anyone knows the specifications for adjusting solid lifters on a 1957 corvette fuel injection 283?

John,

I adjusted my 57 2X4 to .012" intake (hot) and .018 exhaust (hot). This should apply to all models equipped with mechanical lifters.

John Hickley and Duke Williams wrote a great article on how to set mechanical lifters cold, if you don't have access to it e-mail me and I will send you a copy. It works great and no hot oil to contend with.

Suggest you (or anyone else) e-mail me to get the lastest December 2005 revision.

Duke,

Does your procedure apply to the Duntov cam? My understanding was that the method described in ST-12 was sufficient for the Duntov, and your/John's method became needed for the 30-30 and LT-1.

Cheers!

Yes, the ST-12 and '63 Corvette Shop Manual are okay for indexing as far as I know, but I have different lash specs based on measured rocker ratio behavior.
