Flathead adjustable lifters

[andrew honychurch]

I was just wondering whether anyone out there has had experience of fitting adjustable lifters in the flathead V8? Point being that last time I did this job I had use of a Black and decker valvemaster which made the job easier, but everytime you ground the valve and seat you had a long and drawn out job to then grind the stem to the correct clearance for the tappets. It seems a good idea to fit these but maybe its a gimmick and once my job is done, its not as though I will be doing it every other months.........i hope!
