Do I need to adjust valves with hyd. lifters?

most manuals tell you to adjust several valves at a time with the crank' in certain positions but that is for a stock cam without much overlap/lift. a fool proof way is to turn it over by hand (plugs out) 'til your first cylinder's exhaust valve just starts to open and adjust that same cylinder's intake valve. then turn 'til that cylinder's intake valve is just coming to fully closed and adjust that cylinder's exhaust valve. repeat 7 more times to do all 8 cylinders. doing it this way ensures the valve being adjusted is on the cam's 'base circle' away from the lobes/lift ramps. for adjustment setting loosen 'til there's free play, then tighten slowly while turning the pushrod between finger and thumb. when the rocker arm just pinches the pushrod tighten a further 1/2 to 3/4 turn. job done. :thumbsup:
