well if you want to know how to adjust the valves here is how i do it. I will start the motor throw on the custom valve cover i made so i can have access to the rocker bolts and not have oil get all over the place. 1. Back off the valve until it starts going clickity click 2 slowly tighten it until it gets quiet 3 tighten it another 1/4 turn
