I have rebushed my rockers, replaced push rods, and replaced adjusters and  
jam nuts.  I cannot keep the valves in adjustment.  I have a BPNW 270  cam 
in this motor and it calls for .12 int and .14 exh.  I started it first  
time and drove maybe 20 miles and the valves became noisy so I waited  
overnight and checked and they were .001 + wide.  New threads, new parts,  OK I 
adjusted them again.  After about 75 miles they became noisy  again.  I am 
waiting for overnight to check them.
I could not get half the old adjusters out as the threads had  stretched at 
the jam nuts so I had to cut off the ball and run them out from the  top.  
I chased the threads in the rockers and the new adjusters went in  fine.  
What is the recommendation.  Be patient and wait until all settles  in?  
I am tightening the jam nuts with a 1/2" box wrench and not putting a  lot 
of muscle on them.
