Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

Well i got this far today.



Being sick is not fun when you need to do work.

The valve cover is just sitting on the head, not bolted down yet.

I did not turn the rotating assembly at all when I took it apart, and I loaded the pushrods in then tightened the rocker shaft down on top of them. Is it safe to assume I can start the engine and then adjust the valves while running, or do I still need to do a bump adjust while it's cold, then adjust while running? Like I said I did not turn the rotating assembly or adjust the rocker arms any.
