Default Solid lifters

Rite I've had some soild lifters and cam from Newman put in kindly done by power engineering . Last week I thought I would change the head gasket. Replaced the valves etc now it's running on 3 cylinders not sure how to adjust the soild lifters . Just got sent the tool from power engineering any advice would be great as don't want to use car till its done

Thanks James

Make sure you gap them right. Get a feeler gauge if you haven't already! I'm sure the gaps are 8 & 10 thou but check with newman

Easiest way to set solids is with a micrometer. Don't cock about guessing
