Reply to "nuube question on valve adjustment with chromoly pushrods"

Believe me, when the lifter is pushing the pushrod and the valve is off the seat you won't be able to turn the pushrod.

If the adjuster is too tight, you can't turn it either. The only exception would be pushrods of the wrong(too short) length and bottomed adjuster screws. Or maybe a tired or broken valve spring?

When I tighten the locknuts on my rockers, it loosens the adjuster a scosche, so I set mine until they spin with a bit of effort, then lock the nut and recheck for a nice, easy no-play spin.

I usually just adjust them ICE COLD(usually the next day after it's been run) and with unprotected fingers. They do have this thing called soap........

I do understand not wanting to touch that cancer-causing used petroleum product.
