Huh. So you've been running your hydraulics with, say, .018" lash, but it probably didn't keep that lash, which I can see throwing you for a loop. Well, probably no real harm done and now's a good time to change out the cam and lifters to something you'd really like (and know what it is). You might check in with Blykins -- he's a recent convert to solid flat tappets for his own personal build and he will no doubt give you a nice deal on a nice package.
