So I gave the motor a night to cool off, not hard this time of year & did a lot of reading. And went 1 turn (flat) up, all that did was cause the motor to run awful but no tap noise. Let the motor cool off & everything settle & brought them down 2.8th of a turn. Let the lifters bleed down, check that I can turn the rods & closed everything up.

Motor is dead quite, as in hear the intake sucking air in so it was just a matter of getting the pushrods adjusted correctly. Something I'll put in the back of my head.

 

So how many turns and flats did you end up with?

 

Went with 3.0 but then backed down to 2.8 turns so two full turns & 4 flats.
