Hello, I can't find The page in the text area that tells you how to adjust your rockers, we need to do that along with going through the entire car, it has sat since 86 Thanks

There is 56 opinions on Valve Adjustment in the Messages section. Here's mine in case you want to eliminate some reading. Valve adjust is done cold. Remove lid and rotate engine FORWARD never backward using a 17mm wrench on the crankshaft bolt until you achieve Split Overlap. this is where one intake and one exhaust valve is open, you then adjust the opposite 2.
Book says .004" to .006". I have been doing them all to .005". Use a punch or nail to rotate the shafts Inward to make the adjustment. Stuff a rage down either side of cam once you are done rotating to desired location - keeps your tool from dropping down inside engine. Sucks.
Look in the Links section to find Steven Michelsens website where you can download the shop manual.
