Lash adjusters installed and engine started - bad ticky tick at idle. There were no included instructions in the box so I just stood them hole side up for several hours in oil to get the air out.

After a vigorous drive at high RPMs OD off for about 4-5 miles the tappet noise is gone. Hopefully that solved it. Will report back if changes.

Engine Tech is not very responsive, at least to email and they are only the distributor from the manufacturer in Mexico. Can't comment yet on quality of manufacture but as I said on last post they mic'd the same as OEM stock but with slightly larger hole.
