	So....how forgiving is the adjusting on this engine? My book says to just adjust on 1/4 turns waiting to adjust again after each 10 sec. interval and adjust until the clack has stopped? This seems imprecise. Thanks Rojo

	Ya know, the guys that wrote the book might just be on to something there.... The valves are hydraulic. This calls for 0 lash usually. One easy way to find 0 lash is to do what the book says....

	You're just adjusting them until you get them in the range that the hydraulic adjuster can accomodate - it will take that to zero lash automatically.

	It's a chevy, for petes sake, do it static. Get to TDC on the one your doing (I like to take off the cap & point the rotor to each one), loosen them till they slop, tighten them back slowly till you feel no play, then go another half to 5/8 turn. I've done a bazillion this way with no problems.Saves all the oil mess when trying to do 'em with it running. Good luck.
