Do I need to lash/preload rockers after removal?

Perhaps you need professional help to feel comfortable?

lol. That’s one way of wording it. But yeah; I think I will let someone with experience do it this time around

That is SO friggin unlikely !!!! Maybe with a ridiculously high lift roller but not with a street friendly hydraulic roller. I think the OP is out of his confort zone as it is, don't baffle him with bullshit. Use the Mopar chart !!!

I answered Threewood's question. I also never said anything about which method he should choose to use. Lastly MR. A what I said was not bullshit, its fact.

Could you elaborate on why using the lash chart would be problematic?

It's inaccurate. Garbage in/ garbage out. Get a remote start switch, bump it over. Nothing hard about doing the job properly.

I’ve always used the chart. Set my hydraulic preload at 0.002-0.003”. Never a problem.

Same. With solid flat tappet and never had problems using the chart.

The last time I adjusted lash on my solid roller, I did both methods. Generally they were about the same if I adjusted the exhaust valve when the intake was just closed (EOIC). If I adjusted the exhaust just as the intake started to close, the lash would be open up 2 or 3 thousandths on the exhaust. I’ve been told, and makes sense to me, that the VS load causes deflection effecting the exhaust measurement.
