my pos car valves all messed up wont tighten

Hey, first off thanks for trying to help. I'll try my best to sum it up without being so long. Its a v8 305 camaro. I was trying to tighten a rocker arm however the nut in middle is tight however the rocker arm /pushrod still is very loose and has too much play most the nuts dont have to be tightened with soo much force however this one is tight and u have to strain for the nut to tighten/turn anymore what im asking is will forcing the nut to tighten more damage the car worse??

you ought to try proof reading and keeping on topic. flames out of the carb doesn't mean valves are too tight. might be a good idea to try a search for adjusting rockers on a SBC. my guess is you aren't doing it correctly.

I can't read that.

Tell us what's really going on, with sentences and punctuation and all that, so we can figure out what you're saying; you'd have a better chance of getting some help that way.
