[QUOTE="Quick Strike, post: 13954291, member: 11920"] The lash adjusters from Tousley (now Tosca?) were over $8 a piece when I got them in 08, but I only got two then (two earlier when it was throwing followers). Summit and Jegs both want over $10 each, but I did find them at Northern Auto at $6.55 each and with an outfit called Evergreen for $5.60 each. The Ford number crosses over to a Sealed Power number (HT2271B) that fits Mazda and Jeep too. It looks like they are pretty common and should be even cheaper from a general source. You can have the adjusters in while degreeing, but need to leave the followers off all but the valve you are degreeing. That way you are not fighting the chain or other lobes coming to or away from centerline while assessing the .050" before and after centerline points on the degree wheel. I just oiled the outside of my adjusters and made sure they were all pumped down to start. That way the followers could be easily popped on with a screw driver. Later, the garden sprayer was used to prime the system while turning the engine over to assess head oiling and pump up the adjusters/ tensioners a little. It is not a necessary step, but makes me feel better. [/QUOTE]
