small block valve adjustment

[mikep]

I do it while the engine is not running as well. Doing it while its running gets oil all over the place even if you use those little clips and if your'e like me you can barely hear the tick over the rumble of the exhaust. The oil stains headers and so on. Its also a lot less hectic. Does the same thing. Theres a good write up on the compcams website for getting it to the heel of the cam before adjustment. Takes a little longer but makes the valve adjustment more accurate. I find myself thinking about valve adjustment more now that I run a solid lifter cam.
