i always did them while the motor is running. start to tighten them down until the tick goes away then 1/4 to 1/2 turn, tighten poly and all good. i've never had a problem doing it this way. i'm in plainfield so let me know if you can't get it.

thats just an old school trick i learned from a friends dad a while back. there is other ways of setting them without running it while you adjust them.

This is the way that I have always set them. Tighten the set screw then tighten both the nut and set screw about 1/16 of a turn more. They won't come loose this way. I have never had good luck setting them with the engine not running.
