Valve Adjustment with Chromoly Push Rods, Krusty's method Options

[malcolm2]

Prior to changing anything, I used Krusty's method and got my thinnest gauge. I found a 0.002....

I had rotated the engine around and checked my

1. Swivel Foot on each valve. They spin.
2. I also checked for any rocker movement... or really I kept rotating until i got a CLICK when i wiggled the rocker and spun the Swivel.

So at that point i was able to get the 0.002 gauge in. Remember, I am SHOOTING FOR ZERO LASH HERE

Should I try make that small adjustment so the 0.002 gauge won't go in?

KRUSTY'S Valve adjust method

I set mine up to what is called loose zero. I Tighten until I can feel it just come down on the pushrod but I can still spin it with my fingers. After I lock the nut down, I check if it still spins and I try to move the rocker to see if I can hear it click/clack. Sometimes it takes several attempts If I don’t hear anything and I can still spin the rod with my fingers I know I’m there.

Works for me.
