    hilly ..yes I did about 2000K ago and developed a tappet noise after a long hard ride to NSW.. it went away after a few seconds after start up . but a week later I went to start it and it was bad . as I bought up the revs it rattled worse not went away ..lol so I was thinking I collapsed a lifter.. this time I adjusted it 3 turns and ill see how it goes ..noise seems to be gone .. ill adjust rear tomorrow .. then ill take it for a burn and see if it come's back..i don't think the cams lift is rapid enough to colapes a lifter .. I understand the dyno might damage a lifter through high revs .. they say the stock lifters can only take about 6, 6500 rpm as they are based on the chev small block lifter..

    Adjusted tree turns from zero and still has dry lifter clack on start up. But goes away after about 3 seconds .... Looks like bleed down is wrong .. I'll post any updates
