How would you do it if using solid lifters? Do I need to set a preload or do everything but the half turn?

I got this dvd from a mentor. It is a good one, but It does not offer any explaination of these components or what they do which is what I need. I think you should know something about automotive engines before hand. But it is a good dvd otherwise

Whoop, need to stop posting late at night. Sorry bout that. I have an OHV in the truck and an OHC in the car, and since I'm always working on both of 'em (and they both have misfiring cylinder(s)) I tend to switcheroo.

"rotate the engine about a quarter turn" (for the next cylinder on a V8)
"you'll only have to rotate the engine once"
Math?

so if im thinking right, you adjust to zero lash then give it another half turn?

So, what about Overhead Camshafts?

Basic Engine Building DVD - Chapter 49: Valve Lash Adjustment
You should have done this previously in the "Pre-Assembly" section. This time it's for real. You want to leave as much of the internal lubrication in place as possible. If you follow the firing order of your motor, you'll only have to turn the crankshaft one complete rotation. This section has some of the more detailed 3D models to show you the internals of a working motor.
BoxWrench.net is a community and resource designed for automotive enthusiasts. The Basic Engine Building DVD is over three hours of engine building that covers everything from removal and disassembly to final assembly and engine start-up. This is the ultimate DVD for any home mechanic or engine enthusiast that wants to see a complete rebuild from Teardown to Start-Up. This video can be used to learn how to work on almost any type of internal combustion engine including V8, V6, Straight 8, in-line 6 and even 4 cylinder engines. All of the interactive features and menus will not work over YouTube.
This video is great for people interested in car repair, car care, and restoration. As well as hot rods, muscle cars, performance parts, and boosting horsepower. It can also help you to gain knowledge for increasing fuel economy, how to lower your emissions, and covers preventative maintenance to avoid little things like overheating.
Get the full DVD with all of the interactive menus, Tools section and engine Glossary terms here...
