Generally the valve lash is .010 intake and .012 exhaust cold. On a 271 =
hp Ford solid lifter cam. The 90 degree Ford Motorsports adaptor is a =
game changer literally, well worth the price.=20

                I believe the valve adjustment depends on which cam you =
have.

=20

Valve covers =E2=80=93 I can get the stock valve covers off with a bit =
of a fight.

=20

Oil filter =E2=80=93 I have the Motorsport right angle adaptor off the =
block and a Fram 3600 filter

I have 289 HP heads with screw in studs.  What is the cold adjustment =
they should be - no roller rockers and torque settings for the heads.?  =
Do you have to loosen the motor mounts to get the valve covers off, =
lower or raise?  I would think lower to get the valve covers off.  With =
5,000 miles since car has been redone, it is time for some sorting out.  =
The first 5,000 miles required very little and has been a blast up to 60 =
mph and curves so far.

=20

I have changed the oil 2 times during the 5,000 miles and  what a pain =
it is to replace the filter with the stock set up.  If anyone could =
explain their process for oil filter change, that works 'easier' it =
would be greatly appreciated.

=20

Thanks
