[Spridgets] Rocker install question

Thanks for the responses guys!

Plan is to :

Back off all the adjusters

Loosen all the head bolts

Remove the head blots to the rocker pillars

Adjust the clearance

Enjoy the sweet music of a properly running engine.

Look down the spark plug holes with a scope to check for piston damage.

Curse that I will have to remove the head anyway

Curse that if I had installed my rebuild with the 1098 stroker crank I could have been driving this car.

YMMV
