your goig to have to set the vavle lash bet way to do it (from what i have laened on the board) is to lossen't then all up till you barely touch the pushrod. start the motor (DO NOT REV THE MOTOR) and tight them down till you hear the tapping stop

if you have any more ??? do a search for "Valve lash" or "0 Lash"
