Take a hydraulic lifter apart sometime, and look at the relationship between the pieces. Yes, there's a little fudge factor to allow for adjustment errors, but they don't work right unless a pretty narrow adjustment window is achieved. Chevy is about the only engine out there that allows for hydraulic lifter adjustment. Most of the others depend on specific-length pushrods and/or grinding of valve stems to the correct length on a valve job. I'm getting a little tired of arguing with people who weren't even born when I started adjusting lifters, solid of hydraulic! It's a waste of time!
