wondering if there is a special way to run the valves on a 2001 volvo 5.7 gxi-a. it has roller rockers and roller lifters, but doesn't have the one piece rocker assembly. Do you just torque them to a certain spec? or do you have to run them like old school hydraulic lifters? or are they set to a certain amount of lash with a feeler gauge?

The adjust just like the flat lifters do on any small block Chevy V8 engine.

If you have had the heads off, here is the procedure with the engine not running.
