    A fellow that worked at Dick Landy's operation showed me (a long time ago) how to adjust solid lifters to the cold settings.....

    When the Intake CLOSES on a particular cylinder, adjust the Exhaust. You only need to rotate the engine two revolutions to catch all of the Exhausts (which is thru the entire firing order). Dont diddle with the Intake settings.

    Now, when the Exhaust OPENS, adust the Intakes. Again, you will have to turn the engine thru two revolutions to catch all of the Intakes.

    This procedure assures that you are setting the lash on the heel (lowest portion) of the lobe. It's quick and easy.

    You can be setting the lash on a ramp when you go to TDC..
