my buddy asked me to help him on rebuilding his top end on his 87 camaro. its a 2.8 and we got the heads on and now im drawing a blank on how to set the rockers and rods the right way. give me some tips so i can get this stuff done.

thanks

 

Have him drop the $15 for the Haynes 82-92 Camaro book, it tells you how to adjust the valves. You need to spin the crank to get some valves in alignment; then you tighten those rocker nuts, turn the crank again to set other valves, tighten those nuts, etc. And see this message for tips: https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=165647
