Just out of curiosity, what is the best thing to clean them with? Also, if you pull the heads off with the rockers still in place, and put the same pushrods and lifters back in the same places, do you have to take them off and re-adjust them when you put the heads back on? It may sound like a dumb question, but I would like to know. Thanks.
