Reply to "Hyd valve adjustments"

Dorsey, especially if you're running fast-bleed lifters, it is VERY difficult to cold-adjust the valves on a hydraulic-cam 351C. I get them 'close' as you describe, then start the engine with one rocker cover off and readjust for 'no noise' plus 1/2 turn at idle. Makes a royal mess with oil flying everywhere, smoking headers etc, but it's the only way I've found that always works. I let things cool down a bit before doing the second side, due to the possibility of flash- fires off the headers and the pain from hot oil on my arms....
