help rocker ajustment

j par said

for some reason the first one seems easier to me and I do have the motor on a stand with the intake manifold off so I can see everything and this will be the first start a brand new build. There is all that break in goop all over the cam and I would rather not turn the motor over lord knows how many times to adjust the valves as opposed to two or three revolutions and done, but I do want to do things the right way regardless.

That's a good idea on a fresh engine. If you're setting them cold add a couple thousandths to the spec. They will tighten up when the engine warms up. You will want to break things in and go back and check them hot. Kind of sounds like a pain but with good locks and adjusters once the engine is broke in you probably will adjust them once a year or maybe every other year depending how hard and how many miles you drive. I ran the valves on mine 2 years ago. I will go through it this spring. I only put a few thousand miles on a year. tmm
