And you never want to trust the guys who sell you parts, if they were capable they would be the guys INSTALLING parts.. Think about it..
When you come across that guy described above, by all means, as advised, question his response. Question ALL responses.

You can't argue what a person likes. The OP asked if it was necessary for the engine to be hot. The quick answer is , "No". I'm not saying there is anything wrong with setting the preload of hydraulic lifters on a hot, running engine. All I'm saying is that isn't the only way. Many, many, engines get assembled, many, many cams get installed, with the preload set while the engine is dead cold and never started. It doesn't help anyone for a "Mr. owned a shop for 10+ years" to be taking pot shots and placing labels on people they know nothing about.
