so how does a guy adjust these things. i know how to adjust normal rockers but is there a special way to do so or is it the same. i have a slight ticking noise on the pass side ( i thought maybe the bbk headers needed to be tightened but no , exhaust leak after the headers..... nope.) im sure its not that complicated but but it would be nice to get it right the first time rahter than punching a valve into a piston or bending a push rod. anybody?

i have had what your talking about before. i thought it was the headers too! I have actually had it on a couple cars of mine even b4 any after market stuff was done. You still running that bar along the back of the heads that join each head together at the exhaust port? they like to leak out of there.

I would imagine it is a hydraulic cam not solid

You would no the differance just in sound if you had solid.
It would sound like the engine has constant ticks. Hard to describe with words, "one of those things".

well it sounds like that but more from the pass than the drivers. im ripping the valve covers off in 2 days to adjust the rockers and get a good listen after they are done.
