Got a question.
Hydraulic lifters on a 1600.
Adjust the screw till it just touches the valve stem and tighten down how
much??

Factory hydraulics or aftermarket?

I have only ever seen spoecs for the factory Type 4 hydraulics, and I
don't think I should take the risk of recommending that for a different
engine family. For factory applications, consult a manual. For
aftermarket, ask the manufacturer.

Turn it in another 3/4 turn from contact. IOW, 3/4 turn in from 0
lash, or -.030" clearance.
