I've got the cam and lifters installed, the 'dog bones' placed to prevent the lifters from rotating, and now I'm about to install the 'spider'. When I place the piece in the lifter galley, it rests on top of each dog bone but is about 1/4" from the base of the galley. I can apply force to make it reach the bottom, but I am curious if this is the correct method of installation. The bones and spider are all new from ford.

yes, you actually have to push down on the spider to get the bolts started. that insures that there is pressure enough on the dog bones to hold them in place. kinda like a spring.
