I've got a small block 350 in my 59 and the guy I got the truck from told me that it has solid lifters and a hot cam(unknown brand /spec.s)....the motor works good but it's a little noisy. I've done rocker adjustment on the 194 -6 in my '62 Nova(hyd lifters) and if I remember right you just crank down on the rocker stud nuts until excess lash is eliminated. Some sources I've seen say that with solid lifters this needs adjusting more often, do I use the same method (basically by ear) or are the solids just inherently more noisy and I should just get over it?? :confused:

220 - 221 whatever it takes
