I need to tap the collective wisdom here. I've never had to set the valves on a car (1994 Camaro, 3.4L V6) with hydraulic lifters. Here's the scenario: I had a leaking head gasket, so tore the motor

Adjust to 0 lash , TDC on each cylinder and it should start. Let it run long enough to get the engine up to normal operation temp and then readjust with the engine running, valve covers off , and oil
