ok got done with head gasket recently,
wont start ,forgot a step
would anyone know of the easiest way to adjust the rockers ,
what i was going to do is get #1 at tdc ,adjust those ones
and than rotate 360 and do the others ,is that right
also all the vacuum lines next to the dist,dident lable them,took pictures but to blurry ,and guessing dosent work ,the one i know for sure is the regulator fuel
goes on the manifold closest to the dist ,
and the others ,yites
thanks

 

Rotate 180 degrees, adjust. Repeat until 4 adjustments have been made.

 

Here is what I found on classiccarauto.com

1. Remove the valve cover.
2. Identify the number one cylinder. See the page on Firing Order on the menu to the right if you are not sure which cylinder is number one.
3. Turn the engine over until you see the number one cylinder exhaust valve rocker arm JUST START to move from the closed position to open. You may need to turn the motor over a couple of times to reach this point, but do not turn any further.
4. Locate the intake valve.
5. Loosen the rocker arm adjustment nut until you feel some obvious lash or clearance in the adjustment.
6. Using the thumb and index finger of one hand, grasp the intake push rod below the rocker arm, and rotate it back and forth (clock-wise and counter clock-wise successively to be sure there is no remaining pressure on the push rod from the rocker arm as you loosen the rocker arm adjusting nut.
7. Using the other hand, while continuously performing step 6, with a 5/8 socket and ratchet, tighten the rocker arm adjustment nut slowly until you feel a resistance of motion on the push rod.
8. This will be the zero lash adjustment point. For hydraulic lifters, tighten the rocker arm adjustment nut 3/4 of a turn. For solid lifters, back off the rocker arm adjustment nut until your feeler gauge just fits under the contact point between the valve stem and the rocker arm. Fine tune the adjustment by checking it with a feeler gauge just slightly thicker than the preferred clearance to be sure the clearance is not greater than it should be. If the larger feeler gauge will fit, it needs to be re-adjusted. A lash tolerance of 1-2 thousandths of an inch in the valve adjustment for solid lifters would be acceptable since it may be difficult for someone who is in-experienced to be more precise than that.
9. Turn the engine over until the intake valve opens and then is almost closed.
10. On the exhaust valve, repeat steps 5 through 8 for the exhaust valve adjustment.
11. Repeat this procedure for each cylinder. Be sure to do each cylinder sequentially, either following the firing order, following the cylinders numerically, or in the case of a V8 doing one side of the engine at a time. I prefer to do one side of the engine at a time.

 

will each cylinder need to be at tdc?
