alright, this is AS FAR AS I KNOW how you adjust valves. fill me in on anything i'm missing and/or doing wrong.
1. with valve covers off, and both intake plenumns off, i start with the number 1 cylinder.
2. starting by turning the crank until the intake valve JUST starts to open, i adjust the exhaust side, by tightening down the rocker, until i see the "plunger" on the lifter depress just a sack hair (about 20 thousands of an inch).
3. rotate crank until the EXHAUST valve just begins to open, and do the exact same thing.
4. and do so to the rest of the cylinders.
5. go through all rockers and tourque them to about 18lbs.
why do i need to, what does that mean about my pushrod legnth?
if i need to shim my rockers with more than two shims, does that mean my pushrod is too long or short?
the heads i have are: cast iron gt-40's with pedistul mount rockers.
PLEASE: fill me in on anything that i'm not doing right, ANY help is GREATLY appriciated. thanks
