Regarding valve lash adjustment, everything being stock ,how do you ADJUST the valves in a 1965 pontiac 326ci . You have to turn the nut on the rocker up to certain point to get the valve adjusted don't you. I keep hearing that
you tighten to 20 ft/lbs, tighten what ? I just rebuilt the engine and have got it together and it runs I just need to adjust valves/rockers properly.
