yeah, but not periodically like a solid cam does. the L98 is a hydrolic roller so it has zero lash, just like any other hydrolic set up.

It should be like that Ronco Rotisserie, "set it and forget it". Thats the whole beauty of hydraulic lifters, once you properly set them, they maintain zero lash on there own.

The only time you would have to re-adjust them is if a rocker nut backed off. If it happens, you need to replace the nut. (its a pinch nut).
