Now, you grasp the pushrod for the rocker he is holding down and jiggle the pushrod up and down while using a socket wrench to slowly tighten down the rocker arm adjusting nut until all the slack is removed and you cannot move the pushrod up or down any longer. Be delicate here. This is not a strong-armed operation. You are simply taking all the slack out of the pushrod and getting the rocker adjusting nut very slightly tightened down against the trunnion of the rocker arm. Now, make 1/8 turn more on the adjusting nut.....1/8 turn.....45 degrees......OK, that valve is done. Now, move over to the other valve on #1 cylinder and repeat the operation.
