216 tappets while running

Harry,

It is the easiest thing to do and you will get them really good and quiet.

Just bring the engine up to temperature and remove the rocker cover. Start the engine, set the running at minimum revs, loosen the locking nut one pushrod at a time and slip the feeler gauge between the valve stem and the rocker. Tighten or loosen the adjuster nut until you get the right clearance and tighten the lock nut. Do this for all of the valves and the job is done. Easy and simple to do. You can start anywhere on any valve and if one is still a bit noisy, just go back and do it again,

Hope this helps.

Regards Rick.
