Valve adjusting on a Solid cam

Dude, here is a link to Cranes web site and info about adjusting valves, excellent info.

I set one cylinder at a time as it suggests. I do not like jumping around from cyl to cyl like the Mopar card suggests. As far as the valve sticking we need some more info. Cam size, springs and rockers being used. I would check to see if the bottom of a rocker arm is hanging up on the spring retainer. I have been told by many engine builders that they find the Edelbrock valve guides to run very tight clearances and they recommend disassembly and honing the guides before use. I dont think a seat would cause that kind of problem without causing other major problems first. Also, check the retainer and lock for that cylinder to make sure they look good and havent mushroomed over or galled the valve stem.

Remember that you need to have the lash the cam manufacturer recommends but must compensate -.006 if you set them cold with aluminum heads.

When you blew the motor did you bend any pushrods are possibly bend a valve?
