    I know there's a method or sequence to adjusting adjustable rockers. Just can't remember it. Something about spinning the pushrod and tightening on the down stroke ???? :hmmm:
    If anyone knows the right way, I'd appreciate the info.
    Thanks, Darrel

    Exhaust valve JUST opens, adjust the intake valve. When the intake valve is almost closed, adjust the exh. valve. Do it 8 times and you're done.

    Hyd cams (including Hyd Rollers) spin the pushrod until it gets some resistance, then 1/4 turn more and tighten the lock. That's it. With solid cams, you just adjust the nut until your feeler gauge is snug, then tighten the lock down.
