Kevin..welcome to the group! As you can tell many / most are in Lexington,
Ky. for the Convention..
Valve adjust......just like any Chevy v8.....COLD....rotate to TDC # 1
adjust rocker until the pushrod [ hole on side of PR towards rocker!] FEELS there
is NO clearance...no more! the lifters have a "spring" inside...do not let
this compress!
Then tighten 1/2 -3/4 of a turn more....[ usually there are 3-4 thrads
showing on the rocker stud....]
Then go to #2 etc... do it once forget it! then run engine for at least
1 hr. to make sure ALL lifters are pumped up...even drive it easy before
re-adjusting......if you do not "rev" it over 30000...you won't hurt anything...
