I hope this isn't too stupid of a question, but I've got a replacement set of rocker arms to install on a 1955 1st 235 truck. It does have hydraulic lifters and the books I have tell me that once the engine is a operating temp. to back the adjusters off until they raddle and then tighten them 1/4 at a time until 1 full turn is made.

What I don't know is how to adjust them at first when the engine's cold. Or if the 1 full turn is even correct

Help??????????????????

To get the engine started, with the cam setting so the valves for a cylinder closed, turn the adjuster to the point where the pushrod doesn't turn. The one full turn will work. Many people only go with 3/4 of a turn.
