Update. Pushed the truck out of the garage to start it and break in the new lifter. Upon start up, it sounds like a lot of clacking going on for just the guilty valve. Before it was quite quiet except for the offending one. I did not take the valve cover off to watch but just shut it right down to maybe make a 1/4 turn on all of them to make it a full 1 turn.
My only other thought of confusion may lie in the movement of the rod when I was adjusting for "slack". I interpreted it as just eliminating the free play up and down although the rod would still turn. That's how I adjusted. Now I am wondering if all play, up and down and rotating should be "just" eliminated? Thoughts?
I suppose I could have run it longer and it may have quieted down. Didn't want to damage anything.
Tonight will push it back in and make the adjustments, push it out, and watch with valve cover off.
