help with valve adjustment
I was getting some noise from my lifters so I tried adjusting my valves. I rotated the engine to TDC and adjusted the valves according to my chilton. I tightened the nut until I couldn't spin the pushrod and then tightened it one full turn. The book called for 3/4 to 1 1/4 turns. Then I spun the engine one time around and did the rest of the valves.
After that when I tried to start the engine it wouldn't start and it sounded strange while cranking. I took the valve covers off and backed all the nuts out one full turn and it fired right up. I don't feel the I have adjusted anything. What am I doing wrong?
