Default Lunati Link Bar Lifters - Preload? Turbo motor

Mine are quiet with that amount of preload
Yeah unless I go with a custom length, I have to stick with the 0.025 increments. I guess mine was noisy cos initial install was about 0.005 and about 0.015 preload before I bumped each up by 0.025. They're pretty silent now.

Really hoping to see the truck run much better with the new plugs. It literally hit a ceiling at about 3500 and showed super lean on a super fat tune while troubleshooting while fuel pressure stayed perfect.

Should always have correct pushrods for the application

I'm within the range per manufacturer. I kept telling him the numbers I'm at and I was assured they're fine. Only thing he said was I could used a lighter oil to make them more "lively" as he called it so they would pump up and bleed faster when working as I mistakenly said I'm using Rotella T6 15W-50 ... but I'm actually using 5W-40 when I double checked the can.
