Need opinion Rocker adjustment

[rrudholm]

OK, so I finished adjusting my Crane Cams Rollers becuase they were clattering bad. I adjusted the rockers 1/2 turn. The noise is gone but here is the problem. When I start the car it sounds perfect for about 30 seconds and then it starts sounding like it is only running on 7 cylinders or something. I ohmed out all the wires and they seem fine and the plugs are new. Does the symptoms sound like maybe I need to re-adjust the rockers a little loser?

do a cylinder balance test and see if one cylinder is dead. That will help narrow it down.

You may have went to tight and have one hanging open?? I would see/listen where the skip is coming from and start there...pull the plug wire off and listen if it gets worse or remains unchanged, unchanged would point to that cyl...you could pull the plug on that cyl and put your finger over the hole, crank it over and see if its pissing air...if not I'd say she'd hung open??

Good luck with it...

It does kinda have a skipping sound at idle. I'm going to see if this cylinder balance test will point it out. I bought one of these at Autozone: http://www.actron.com/product_detail.php?pid=16153

If not, I will go back in and re-adjust rockers just shy of what I did before.
