Installing and adjusting rockers: NEED DETAILED EXPLANATION!

1. Set crank to TDC #1 compression stroke.
2. Drop pushrod in, set rocker over stud and on pushrod.
3. While spinning the pushrod with two fingers, screw down adjuster nut.
4. The *instant* the pushrod resists spinning, you're at zero lash.
5. Turn adjuster nut 1/2 of a turn past zero lash, and set lock.
6. Turn crank 1/4 of a turn and do #3. Then repeat for 7,2,6,5,4, and 8.

You can also just turn the crank over while watching the valves, it's easy to see when they're on the base circle of the cam.

Ed hsa some pretty good directions on his website, check it out..

Dave, how about priming the motor to be sure the lifters are pumped up?
