I did my initial start up of my new raby engine, two of the cylinders had valves that were too tight causeing blow back throught the carbs. Adjusted valves and cant seem to make them any looser? any ideas?
also major oil leak from somewhere where engine meets transmission, thinking rear main seal?? |

Just to expand on what Bill said - When the #1 ex valve is at max lift then adjust the #3 ex valve. The key is making sure that the opposite valve is at max lift. That way you know that the lifter of the valve you want to adjust is on the heel of the cam.
