Researching tappet replacement. Found this link. pretty cool instructions with diagrams (I like pictures) for lifter adjustment that I thought some other folks might appreciate.

Great find, and thanks for sharing. BUT thats the same diagram I was using when I replaced my lifters. I was having a hell of a time getting them right. I called S&S tech, and he told me that after I turn it out the 4 turns, to roll the engine so the lifter starts to roll up the slope of the cam, to help bleed them down. Because the 107 doesn't have a strong enough valve spring to bleed a new lifter full of oil. When you buy them, they don't have any, or very little oil in them. The spring will work fine for adjusting them.
I hope that makes sense,
