I started doing it the way that Jake used to preach. Watch this rocker and when it starts to open adjust the intake..not 100% correct but I'm tired and pissed.

I got the drivers side all lashed. I noticed that the #5 exhuast rocker did not have very much resistance. Even with it lashed I can take my thumb and push it down about 1/8" on the pushrod side. It will spring back up when I let go so there's no doubt that it is in the pocket of the lifter.


All that the slack in the lifter tells me is that it's bled down all the way... that could be because you had it too tight the first time around or it likely bled down while you were turning the motor over adjusting the others.

True it could be a bad lifter or damaged from being adjusted too tight but that is pretty rare.

Adjust the other side, Button it up, drive it and give it a chance to pump back up before you go tearing the top end back apart.

BTW the Exhaust Open/Intake Closed method of valve adjustement is easy to remember.

First remember that you only do one cyl (2 valves) at a time.

1. Rotate the engine over until the exhaust valve just starts to open - STOP.

2. Adjust the intake rocker.

3. Rotate the engine over until the intake valve you just adjusted opens then starts to close - STOP.

4. Adjust the exhaust rocker.

5. Move on to the next cyl and repeat.

Take it easy and try not to let things get to you.
