Curt,
Here are different brands of tools that Jerry referred-to. Why not set the lash using the static method (
another set of instructions is given at the bottom of that link/page)?
The static method is easier than the "running engine" method and easier than the "bump the starter for each valve" method; and, the static method is at least as accurate as the running-engine method.
You warm up the engine,
- set the engine to the timing mark,
- adjust half of the valves,
- rotate the engine until you line up the timing mark
- adjust the other half of the valves
No matter which method you use, if you have a groove in the mating face on the rocker arms, you will not get good settings.
