Thanks for that Jerry, I actually did adjust them this way, watching when the arms stopped rocking, the rotor was on the plug wire and using the flywheel markings Deve suggested on his site. 120 degrees at a time, twice around the flywheel. U think the problem I have now is a few valves were difficult to determine if they were at zero lash, as the push rods were 'catching' and difficult to do the spin and tighten test. Would it be bad to determine the clicking ones and adjust while running?
