Can you adjust valve lash without the engine running? I tried to do it with the engine running but the socket will not stay on the adjusting nut. I just installed a new camshaft.

I'm emailing you a file I prepared on how to do it with the engine off.

It's the way I've been doing it for over 25 Years and it flat works.

Let me know if I can help further.
