Adjusting valve clearance on a 454 V8.
Good morning to you all.
I have a 1979 Chevrolet suburban and would like to check or properly adjust the valve clearance. I hope I am expressing myself correctly. Please excuse my bad English. The problem is that I hear a slight clacking sound on the left bench and I know it is coming from the valves. Can you please tell me what steps I need to take to get the valve clearance right? I only have found this https://brianbradburn.tripod.com/chevy454.htm I assume I have mechanic valve lifters. I read, that I need to turn the engine while adjusting. If I had a manual transmission, I would just put it in gear, lift the car to one side, and then turn the other wheel. But how do I do that with an automatic? Thanks in advance and have a nice Sunday
