roller rocker adjustment

gray87GT · 02-06-2001, 11:21 AM

Okay, I have read a lot of posts on how to adjust roller rockers......but it sounds too easy. All you do is wait tell the exhaust starts to move up then adjust the intake....then when the intake is up and almost all the way down you do the exhaust? Is that right....or not?

You could try to make it harder if you want, but that method will work fine. Done that several times with other adjustable valvetrain motors. Both valves in a cyllinder can be adjusted together if at TDC of the firing stroke of #1, turn the motor 90 deg then adjust the next cylinder in the firing order. Proceed every 90 deg for each cyl in the order. That method will involve less turning of the motor which is a pain.

I used to lash down my chevys running
