have a 64 327 sbc in 30 model a
how can i adjust valves before starting. engine was assembled no rockers.installed roller rockers im new with chevy motors

In Chiltons manual it has a sequence for adjusting lifters. Basically, it tells you ( from TDC compression stroke ) how to turn the engine to adjust specific rocker arms.

If I have not made myself clear: the sequence tells you which cam lobes are down when, and you adjust in the rocker arms at that time.

thanks ill go to my local libary

. Get #1 piston to compression TDC, Cam gear at 12 o'clock crank gear at 12 o'clock.

2. Adjust the intake valves on cylinders 1, 2, 5, & 7

3. Adjust the exhaust valves on 1, 3, 4, & 8 in the same manner.

4. Rotate crank 360 degrees to get cylinder #6 to compression TDC, Cam gear at 6 o'clock and crank gear at 12 o'clock.

5. Adjust the intake valves on 3, 4, 6, & 8

6. Adjust the exhaust valves on 2, 5, 6, & 7
