Get rid of the MP adjusters. They are not designed for anything but an all out race car. Those cars / engines nearly always use a higher viscosity straight weight oil (SAE 50) where adjuster pump up would be a problem with the stock ones during extended racing periods. In the catalog they state (or used to state) that they are designed to not pump up during high rpm use. That means they have extra bleed down built into them and often will tick when used in an engine that doesn't have the thicker oil to keep them pumped up. Note, don't switch to race weight oil just to keep the MP adjusters, that could bring on a new set of problems, especially in the winter. As a side note, when they say RACE lash adjuster, they mean a car that is used in oval track or road racing where the length and extremes of racing make demands on an engine that are never seen in street or drag race vehicles. The stock oiling system and adjusters are sufficient for any vehicle that sees double duty as street / strip. The FWD Mopars cars have a great history of successful road racing in IMSA, SCCA, and rally, and many of the products MP offers were originally brought out for those racers. That type of racing has demands on both the car and engine that street use or drag racing never sees. The catalog doesn't differentiate between what type of race use it is talking about (it should, but doesn't).
