The question is do you have the proper tool?

Back off the nut, adjust the bit in the middle (mine where an allen key arrangement) untill you have zero clearance and then tighten the nut.

Make sure the cam is on the back of lobe to ensure the valve is completely closed.

thanks gary, i think iv done it right.
all finished and filled the water and done a pressure test and found a leak from the inlet, so off it came, cleaned it up and fitted new gaskets only too test again anf find another leak from inlet :_:_:_;];].
so off to get new gaskets 2moro and prey no more leaks, the manifold and heads are all straight by my steel rule.
so for now its back to :2 and sleep on it.

I never use manifold gaskets, as they are always prone to leaking.

I use Permatex Blue silastic around the ports, and between them, and around the water jacket, and across the valley. Just make sure 2 people drop the manifold down squarely.

I the port gaskets but not the front and rear oil gaskets. If the heads have been faced heavily the manifold won't line up with the heads, so just use Blue Max on the ends so the manifold can sit where it wants to. Put blue max around the water ports on the  inlet gaskets an it will be fine.

Lifters should be done cold (was it a solid?) with feeler guage.

2 ways to do it, with the valve close adjust them till there is no slack in the push rod but you can turn it, second way and most effective is once the cam is bedded, get an old rocker cover,cut the top out and instal it. Run the engine tighten one rocker at a time back them off till they rattle, then down till it misses, then back them off till the cylinder comes back and then a bit more.

Mild 67 like I said with the engine running, tighten them one at a time till it misses then back them off till the cylinder comes on and then a bit more.

thanks, i found out why they got noiser, two studs broke off causing number 3 inlet and exhaust rockers came off.  :_
what can cause this? did i do them to tight?
and what are my rockers called? they are in pairs that bolt onto a stud.
are they stud, pedistal or whatever?

Did it go ok till it broke the studs. I'm thinking you may have the wrong length push rods.

im not to sure, i think they are pressed in, as a screw in one would have a spanner head on the base?

You really should have screw ins and guide plates for rollers, some times the rocker are too deep and hit the stud pedastal. I suspect this is your issue. You'll probably need to pull the ehads off and have them fitted with screw ins + push rod guide plates. depending on what rockers you have. You can buy Comp cams magnums that will run with out guide plates, and you could just replcae the 2 studs in place.
