    go to shbox.com there is a proceedure on there to set valve lash. You need a light touch to feel drag on pushrods.

      Engine running - back off the rocker arm nut until you hear it make noise, tighten 1/4 turn.

        I go in the firing order and set them with the motor off. I usually crank the car or runn it for a minute to pump the lifters up. I tighten each one till you can't turn the push rod by hand then tighten 1/4 turn after that.

        Ive always done it this way on hydralic cams and it's always worked perfectly.

        Just gotta make sure the lifter is all the way down on the cam and not in lift.

        If you werent so far away I would come help ya but you're a hike for me.

          I'm pretty sure I got it. I don't hear any audible noise so I took her for a spin. I will probably double check though before going out again.

          I used Shbox for the methods.
