First let me say that I am not an expert at anything and my only experience adjusting valves is from the 60s and 70s when I had a 396 Chevelle with solid lifters. What I am saying is any attempt is better than nothing, I bought a 1955 2nd series in March and changed plugs, wires, distributor cap, replaced points w/electronic ignition, kit in carburetor but still had a dead miss in No. 4 cylinder. Got engine hot removed valve cover No. 4 intake rocker was completely off the valve, all the intakes were loose and all the exhaust were tight. Now it runs like a different engine.
