Bugz didn't you have a copy of something your Dad made out about adjusting valves on your old web site. If so could you post it up here so I could get another copy of it.

I think His Dad had drawn something up and it was just simple to read and follow.

Valves Directions

Okay, here is the photo of the drawing my dad did to help teach me how to adjust valves. He had to simplify it as much as possible since I am not mechanically inclined. Hope it helps you.

Simple enough. If you still can't adjust your valves by using Olivers chart,  You need to step away from the car :lol:

Yep !    Adj intake tires 22 pounds,  exhaust tires 25 pounds.  We don't want you to drop a tire down the road :?
