When i change the cams in my car next week, do i need to readjust the valve lash somehow or will the hydraulic lifters adjust automatically when the oil fills them?

They do it automatically, that's why they are called hydraulic lash adjusters

Course this is assuming they're all in good shape. If you've got any that are frozen or something you should probably replace them now.

That's what i thought, i was looking at them and they look like they're in pretty good shape. Thanks.
