<VV> valve adjustment

[Michael Kovacs]

The only ones REALLY tight will be the ones that the valves are open. With the valve completely closed there is a little wiggle as it rocks on the pivot, but not a rattle.

should the rockers be tight, with no movement at all, or should I be 
able to move them a little with my hand? I don't want any more bent 
pushrods.

Thanks for the previous suggestions. I was able to free the last of the 
3 stuck valves by tapping on it with a rawhide mallet. All pushrods are 
pumping oil, and all valves are moving. I'm just not sure how far to 
tighten the rockers initially. Once I get the engine running smoothly 
with a decent idle, then I'll go back and final adjust the valves. I 
don't want to overtighten. Am I going about this wrong?
