Adjusting Valves in Houston?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Who wants to adjust the valves in the 385? I just got through adjusting them and they seem to be worse than they were before. I used the method of adjusting half the valves with it on 0 TDC on the #1 compression stroke, and the other half at #6 TDC compression stroke. I would rather do it running, but I don't have an extra valve cover to cut up, and I have a High volume high pressure pump in it, so no cover at all is out of the question. So does someone wanna come do it, or tell me how much I should expect to pay someone to do it.
