Rocker adjustment
By GaryXL - 11/11/2004 8:19:31 AM; IP 153.26.176.34
The best way I've learned to adjust lifters is not with each cylinder at TDC, but to use the "Exhaust opens-adjust Intake/Intake closes-adjust Exhaust". I have used this on all my solid cam cars, and also use it when making the inital adjustment on a Hyd cam motors.
For Hyd cam motors, just use one hand to spin the pushrod, and tighten it until it doesn't spin FREELY, go another 1/2 turn, then make a final adjustment with the engine running after the cam is broken in.

Hope this helps.
