Yeah I based my oil viscosity and spring pressures on being told I have the HI Rev. Never trust anyone, verify everything!!!! ..another lesson learned.
Either way never any noise even with my higher than rated for spring pressures. |
Off topic, but , fwiw, switching from a .750 to a .700 wheel diameter, or an .810 wheel, has an effect on the camshaft timing. Not huge, but it does.

Morel recommends .025 preload, or half a turn on mine (which are donzimatts old ones). Mine are lashed now but on engine stands, so I could do a full turn.
To me it sounded like a couple of them were noisy last season for 5 minutes or so and then quiet right down, but not all 32 haha. I've always done a half turn on engines with never an issue, now I'm second guessing... |

One nice thing about the Johnsons is axle oiling if you buy the good ones, I am sure that's gonna help bearing issues, at least I hope so, I think that's only available in solid Morels, not sure aboiut other brands.

at 1/2 a turn they will make more noise but should not cause any problems.i turn them one turn and they still are noisy until they warm up.

I didnt need a replacement ..havent had any issues
Also, icdedppl has ran straight 50 weight with them , as well as 15w50, and 20w50, no collapsed lifters or weird stuff. Him and i have a decent amount of time on them since 2012, turning around 6k rpm on many occasions in each of our engines , so i cant believe its just "luck". Generally i think they are a good lifter. |
If their rattling all the time, are you really getting full valve lift ?? ( opening )

Ours with 1/2 turn never quieted down even at warm. It took full turn to get them quiet at temp.
I believe there is close to .150 inch of travel, so at one turn there is still .1 inch of slack, half turn .125 inch. Maybe I will turn mine up to 1 full turn. |
