Check in a repair manual. You can get one from any auto parts store

The proper answer is as follows: You start with the
engine in # 1 firing position, and you can adjust the
following valves: I 1, 5 and 6, and E 1, 2 and 3. Back off the nut holding the rocker until the push-
rod is a little loose. then turn the nut a little at a
time until you can not turn the pushrod with thumb
and forefinger. Then tighten down the rocker nut
one and one half turns more. Best to do that as 6
half turns. Then turn the engine to # 4 cyl. TDC,
firing position. Then you can do # I 2, 3, and 4 and
E 4, 5 and 6. It will take a little time to figure out
just when all the lash is gone. I have both spun the
pushrods and tried to raise them up also to make
sure I'm pretty close. Use a short 3/8's drive break-
er bar to do this then you can work in very small
increments. Fortunately, If you had to had the adj-
ustment within say .002" the book would say so. It
does not. just do your best to determine zero lash
and you will be close enough.
