rocker adjustment?
 
I have a question for you guys that know something about roller cams. I have a gm crate engine and I need to know how to adjust the rocker arms. I thought it would be the same as a normal cam, but I did what I used to do on my old engine and it didn't work right. So I need help finding out how to do it. Any one with the answer? Thanks for your guys' help.

I like to run 1/2 turn preload(per comp cams advice). i set mine running(the old mans ears work better than the eyes...lol!) Any way you go, you will probably have a little more noise on a full roller motor, than you would notice on the factory setup. good luck,crazyL:burnout:

Thanks for the help guys. The engine is not in the truck right now, so I can't really do it while it is running. Thanks for the advice. Has anyone done this before? I would like some first hand experience. Like I said earlier, I have adjusted the normal flat tapet cams before, but never a roller cam. Thanks
