We greatly appreciate all the advice! Any & all are certainly welcome! We have plenty of room! I'm just ecstatic you're willing to come help! Today I'm going to make a video showing the rocker head screws. Steve started adjusting the lash per Jerry's instructions. We had absolutely no trouble understanding the instructions (believe it or not, LOL) and we were making progress, however, some of the rocker screws had to be unscrewed quite a bit to get the feeler gauge to fit. We didn't think this was normal, so Steve stopped the adjustment. I'll try to show on the video what I'm talking about.

Also, we have not attempted to start engine and will NOT until you say distributor placement, timing and lash settings are all good to go! I'm going to also video each step we do that you instruct us on and will put a link here.
Thanks again!
