I then use a Precision Instrument dual beam torque wrench to snug each lash nut properly, and verify again. Takes me an hour, all in. I'm sure a pro could do it in less than 10m but my method works for me and helps eliminate bonehead mistakes.

I guess my questions would be 1.) what is the benefit over hydraulics? 2.) what is the benefit over hydraulic rollers? From what I am reading people are not taking these engines over 6500 rpm and the power peaks much lower that that.
Setting lash every 750-1000 miles in not no maintenance. Just saying.
