X2 !! If you have hydraulic lifters they may have bled down if you adjusted them with the engine off . Then when when it fired up the lifters pumped back up and maybe opening or holding the valves open to much .


It maybe messy but it is easier to adjust them with the engine running . Just leave the covers off and fire it up and let it idle . If you rev it then oil will go every where . Loosen one rocker at a time until you here it start to "clack " .. then slowly tighten till you here the "clacking" stop . Then turn it 1/4 of a turn more .... your done . Then repeat 15 more times and your done !

X3 SOMEONE I KNOW TAKES THE HEAD OFF TO ADJUST THE ROCKERS
