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?

Yes my lash is set properly.

Here is what I have.

Cam: CompCam @50 236/242 .502/.511 Solid
Springs: The springs that come on edelbrock heads
Rods: 7.75 O.A ball & cup 5/16 stem
Rockers: CompCam Magnum roller rockers 1.5 ratio

The bottom of the rocker isn't hanging up on the spring retainer. Nothing is mushroomed over or galled the cam and rushrods are brand new and the heads and rockers only have 200 miles on them. When i blew up this motor it threw the cap for the # 1 cyclinder and it did come up and bend those valves but I replaced them and that head isn't having this problem. It's only the other head thats doing it.
