    on stud rollers, the easiest way to get a decent street adjustment, is tighten the nut to where you can rock the rocker around at all, and then go another 3/4 turns.... theres a chance they'll want to loosen up on your a little bit, but you should use locking nuts anyways
    That's OK as far as it goes. However, the crank (and thus the cam) has to be in exactly the right place when making this adjustment, or you're going to total out some valves . . . or worse.

    Use the search function for "valve adjustment." You should find a lot of information.

    Now, for shaft mounted rockers, there usually isn't any adjustment. They're just bolted in place.
