I don't think the lifters bleed down far enough to completely reseat the valve. I thought the hydraulic piston just takes up the last 0.05 or 0.1??? Someone will correct me if this isn't right.

Also, the valve springs are under a fair amount of compression even when the valve is seated.

I think the best you can do is bar the engine over a half turn or so every month. Let's see, four months of winter = two complete revolutions or one full valve cycle...

Empty Fuel Tank
 

I talked with Bob Teague about the fuel level issue and He stated that it's better to have your tank or tanks as low as possible and add stabalizer do to the quality of the gasoline that we have Today.I change my impellers in the spring so there not sitting all winter with the rubber vanes bent up in the pump housing.I also turn over my engines by hand about once a month to distribute the valve spring pressures.I put a moisture absorber in my engine compartment.I spray my shift boots,Exhaust bellows with rubber conditioner and then put the drives in the down position. have 500 efi's with 318 hours and have no issues as of yet.Can't wait till Summer..Having my ride custom painted by Mitcher T in Feb
