If they are adjustable when it is cold start it up and feel the push rod tubes if one is loose you will know right away ... They aren't hard to adjust I had one loosen up last week and had to fix it on the road....

If it is a push rod don't try to ride it it will fu// up a valve or possibly take your rings out... But if they are adjustable you can fix it with two 1/2 open end wrenches and a 5/16 and 2 flat screw drivers to pust the push rod tubes down with if its a outside one it is much easer...If you have my luck it is always the back one and harder to get to....

hydrolics are suppoxe to be self adjusting and will float in a pinch unless things have changed

solids need adjusting they come from factory hydrolics
