there is no adjustment. if you DO need them adjusted (due to a valve job or new cam) you need to either get different length pushrods or depending on which way you need to go you may be able to just use shims under the rockers

After finding the correct pushrod length you tighten them down to torque spec. After you reach zero lash it should reach torque spec within another 3/4 turn I think it is.

possibly, the only way to know for sure is to measure. You can use a stock pushrod to measure, it might be the correct length. You should be running stronger valve springs so you should probably buy some hardened pushrods.

What problem did you have with the 1.7's? And what valve springs are you running?
