Default Re: Adjusting valves

What has worked for me after being instructed by an old timer. Determine the lash you have if any, use a drop indicator and when valve is wide open, set your drop indicator to "0". If your lash is .018 and you want .012, adjust the tappet till it moves .006. When the valve is wide open, you can get any wrench made for tappets in there. I have had good success with this method. I also use Vince Falter's rule of 9's when moving from valve to valve.
