Default PR Adjustment

New cams, b'rngs, support plate and rods. Wondered if there's any need to go back and readjust after 1-200 mi.

Any thoughts on this? Thanks.

Shouldn't need to.
We load the lifter to .140", to maintain the proper pre-load at full operating temps.
Also helps keep some of the more aggressive-ramp cams tamed.

Yeah, it's been quiet. HDs PR's are 24 TPI (I measured to be sure) so I ran 'em 3+2 flats.

Thanks for the feedback gang!
