in order to adjust the valves you have to make sure they are in the correct position. to adjust the intake valve, roll the engine slowly until the exhaust valve on the same cyl. just begins to open. to adjust the exhaust valve on the same cyl., turn engine over till the intake rocker goes to full lift and just starts to come down,then tighten nut to zero lash(roll pushrod between two fingers,tighten nut slowly till it barely stops.this is zero lash.)then go an additional 1/2 turn.
