Looking for some help . Hey guy I'm looking for some help and was told this was the place to go. I have a 95 lt1 that needs valve adjustment, first question is can I do just one or do I have to do them all? And how do I go about finding the clearance being it's been cammed, bored , and new scorpion rockers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Are you familiar with the EOIC method?
1.) Disconnect coil packs and pull fuse to fuel pump or pull fuel pump relay
2.) Remove valve cover
3.) Pick a cylinder and identify the exhaust valve
4) With a remote starter switch or someone bumping the key over watch until the exhaust valve begins to open and stop
5.) Loosen the Intake rocker arm and with your fingers spin the pushrod while starting to tighten and once you start to feel resistance tighten an additional 1/4 turn and lock it.
6.) Turn the engine over until you see the intake valve you just adjusted open the valve and then as it starts to close you stop!
7.) Loosen the exhaust rocker arm and with your fingers spin the pushrod while starting to tighten and once you start to feel resistance tighten an additional 1/4 turn and lock it.
8.) Move to next cylinder and repeat steps 4-7
Good luck!

If you know what lifter is causing the source of the ticking then no but it doesn't hurt to go through and check them all. I've also done it with the engine running you just back a rocker off until you hear it ticking and then tighten until it stops and go an additional 1/4 turn. It gets a little messy with all the oil getting on the manifolds and all over the place.

Well it turns out that my exhaust manifold gasket was blown out got it replaced today but the car is still sputtering under load and feels like it's a normal v8 instead of the 500hp monster it was when I bought. I'm at a loss with this thing and have co clue what to do next.
