Hi Fred,
After installing the rocker shaft and before you turn the engine make
sure that the adjusters are backed well off to prevent bending a pushrod
if the springs become coil bound.
Just set the tappets to their HOT setting plus a couple of thou with the
engine cold. Then warm the engine up thoroughly and readjust them to the
correct setting HOT.

Subject: Valve adjustment
Listers,
I have just had my rocker arm rebuilt and I have installed it.
I have read the manual several times and I guess I am just having a
senior
moment.
What is the best way to adjust the valves to a baisc setting so the
engine
will start. Once the engine starts and is warmed up, adjustment will be
a
simple thing.
Any thoughts or comments on this? Tips or secrets?
Thanks,
Fred
