need a little help on Rocker thighten.am getting different ways to tighten Rockers.some say to tighten them all down snug and the other way is (When the engine is in the No. 1 firing position, adjust the following valves: Exhaust - 1,3 Intake - 1,2
Back the adjusting nut out until lash can be felt at the pushrod, then turn the nut until all lash is removed (this can be determined by rotating the pushrod while turning the adjusting nut). When all lash has been removed, turn the nut in 11/2 additional turns, this will center the lifter plunger.
Crank the engine one complete revolution until the timing tab and the O mark are again in alignment. Now the engine is in the No. 4 firing position. Adjust the following valves: Exhaust - 2,4 Intake - 3,4 which is the Right way thank you Ron

Just snug them down. Rotate motor, check for loose ones, resnug. Repeate several times until you can find none that are loose. Good Luck.
