Valve Adjustment

dennislv · May 3rd, 2011, 09:18 PM

I just put Windsor Jr heads, a TFS Stage 2 Cam & Comp Cams 1.6 Rockers.

I adjust them like normal, hand tighten until the pushrod looses its slack, then half a turn and lock it down.

Then after the motor spins once or twice, the rocker is loose again, and will jiggle if i grab it. Is this normal?

Thanks...

Right on. I've never done them before and I'm tripping. I don't wanna f them up and screw myself.

I'm still concerned about the side to side jiggle though...
