<div dir="ltr">Joel, 1) listen to the experts, and the shop manual re valve lash,<div><br></div><div>2) unless there's stuff in the way you can unbolt the transmission crossmember and drop the transmission tail down with a floor jack enough to remove the valve covers. That should give you clearance to remove the valve covers if they're anything close to stock.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 29, 2021 at 8:47 PM Larry Mayfield via Tigers <<a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net" target="_blank">tigers@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><p class="MsoNormal">Well, depends on what kind of lifters you have.

What is the cold adjustment they should be - no roller rockers and torque settings for the heads.? Do you have to loosen the motor mounts to get the valve covers off, lower or raise? I would think lower to get the valve covers off. With 5,000 miles since car has been redone, it is time for some sorting out. The first 5,000 miles required very little and has been a blast up to 60 mph and curves so far.<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Garamond,serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Garamond,serif">I have changed the oil 2 times during the 5,000 miles and what a pain it is to replace the filter with the stock set up.
