Well, after a huge list of parts I've replaced to get my car running again, I've finally gotten it back together. The only issue is, I just can't seem to get this valve adjustment done right. I've tried adjusting them using every method available, and I'll get it dialed in nicely, and to where it's running beautiful and smooth. Then the next day I'll start it up, and I'll have either a noisy valve train, or a couple times a rocker loosened up so much a push rod will be just flopping around! I've literally adjusted these things about six or seven times and I'm going nuts. I've adjusted them using all the different methods available from shoe boxes website, and no luck. I read a thread that said to fully back off all the rockers and let it sit for a few hours to let the lifters "bleed off" or something like that, then adjust which didn't help. As for a parts list, I've replaced head gasket set, water pump, opti, plug, wires, timing gear and chain set, cam, and lifters (which were soaked in oil prior to install). Yesterday I adjusted them and it was fine, started up ok this morning, and while driving after warm up, the engine randomly developed a slight "vibration" . What do you guys think I should do? I'm having the worst of luck with this thing!
