Adjust the valves in the order the cylinders fire one cylinder at a time turning the motor for each,slightly loose.start the car and let it warm up a bit then adjust the valves while running.most techs go down one side then the other. you don`t say what motor it is,but some motors valves rocker arm nuts are torqued so you can torque the rocker nut for all the cylinders,then start the car and let it run so the lifters will pump up and thats all you have to do with this type of system,as there is no other adjustment to do.
Neither hot or called, day or night.whether it a 4 cyl.6cyl,8cly. The rules are going to be the same.Turn the engine (its easier with spark plugs out) Watch the rocker are one will go up the other down and vice versa as they are going up and down they eventual will be at an equal level when they match that is where and when you make the adjustment.(irregardless of where the piston is at or the firing is at this is the adjustment and this will be the range). If it call for a feeler gauge go ahead stick it in there if that valve lines up with the exhaust then its a exhaust valve if it line up with the intake its a intake valve.Now being equal to each other (make sure the nuts there locking nuts are good) turn the nut as your turning the nut feel the push rod its loose right and turning keep turning down the nut and keep twisting the push rod as you turn the nut eventually the pushrod doesnt twist no more, the moment the push rod stop twisting as you are turning down the nut stop right there, now turn it 1/4 and lock it down.You just adjusted one valve Now do the same to the other one. tighten the nut twist the push rod always twisting the push rod and tightening the nut.And that my friend is all it takes... By the way you should soak the lifter in oil if you didnt thats okay and when you get done pour oil on the valves and on the lifters.
