If you have 4 journal caps on your head then it is Hydraulic and no adjustment is needed. If it had 5 journal caps then it is not hydraulic and can be adjusted.
Sticky gummy lifters on a hydraulic head can be cleaned and rejuvenated.
Here is a hydraulic head see the skipped journal

Valve adjustment

Just wondering if anyone had their two cents to add in on the valve adjustment I am going to do on my car.
Should I aim to adjust them in the midrange of spec, tighter end, or looser end?
I assume it is worthwhile to adjust them all to be equally within spec. And I would not want to leave one clyinder looser/tighter than another. Of course if its within spec not a crisis but still minds well do it right.

we're only talking about .1mm here, you want them all to be within .1mm of each other
