Yes, I have flat lifters. Set the engine at TDC and set the rockers on 1 and 6. turned the engine 90 deg and 8 and 5 then 90 degs again 4 and 7 and turn 90 to adjust 3 and 2. Then 3/4 of a turn to set preload on each rocker. Pre lubed all and filled with oil, then primed oil with a speed wrench till oil pressure showed. Pre filled the carb and started, ran at high idle till temp was up , set timing. I ran it up to 3000 rpm for 5 mins then idled and it sounded great. Took it out for spin 10 mins later it started ticking and I've not had good oil pressure once up to temp.
