Ok...since you have hydraulic lifters....do the adjusting with the engine off...set your 1 piston a tdc...loosen the rocker arm till you have lash( up and down clearance) then tighten till you don't...no up and down clearance but can still easily wiggle side ways back and forth...then give one full turn and that will set you half way down the lifter. Machinist swears by it...really easy to do to since you can take the side covers off. Good luck....new set of lifters isn't to pricy either. TJ
