Could you explain it a little better. I adjust both intake and exhaust valves at once. Like when number 6 is a rocking, I adjust both valves on number 1. How far do you rotate it bfore you adjust the other valve?
hmmmm, I'll try, pick any cylinder.......we'll say #4......as you are watching both valve springs rotate the engine, (normal direction) with a ratchet untill one or the other is fully compressed (open) now you adjust/set the OTHER one, mark it some way to keep up with your progress, rotate again (always the same way) till the one you just set is fully compressed (open) now set the other, mark it and go to another cylinder, order does NOT matter as long as you do them all..................now since there is some question as to if you have been adjusting correctly I would pull and check ALL of your pushrods as you are setting and see how many you have bent........good thing is they don't cost much.........good luck.
