Default RE: adjusting rockers

thanks...i'll have to readjust them tomorrow...

mine are definitely too tight because i adjusted mine all the way down when the engine was cold yesterday morning and i didn't back off the nuts 1 to 2 turns

unfortunately I have to go to school in about 30 minutes, then go to work and i won't be home till late so i can't adjust them today...

oh, and yes, i think the ticking IS coming from the damn header!!! (trying to stop the tick started this whole thing)

SOARING, when you say to back off 1 to 2 turns, you mean a full 360* - 720* of the nut, right?

just making sure you weren't referring to turns of something else...i only want to do this 1 more time

thanks...

Then, just replace the gasket on the exhaust mainifold. Do you have headers, or the original exhaust manifold?
