>jonas <and thanks for the fast replay

Very likely u have only to run the fasteners down on the rockers and be done.

Now I’m in despair I have tree different ways to adjust the valves

1. says that you turn the engine too the exhorts valve start to move and then tighten the intake valve and when the intake is almost don you tighten the exhorts valve

2. says that you use a moment first 17 ft.in and then 23

3. is the this one witch colt be right I just need a little more info please

The best way to adjust them is while the engine is running. Back the nut off until you hear the famous valve tick, then tighten 1/2 to 3/4 turn. I prefer 1/2 on mine but that may be because it's a little tired.

thanks for the reply all

the engien is now running nice and is power willing
