Answer: Best and easiest way I found for a SBC v8 with hyd. flat tappet cam is like this.. With engine off, not running Intake Valves #1 cyl Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #6 Intake Valve #8 cyl Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #5 Intake Valve #4 cyl Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #7 Intake Valve #3 cyl Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #2 Intake Valve #6 cyl Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #1 Intake Valve #5 cyl Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #8 Intake Valve #7 cyl Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #4 Intake Valve #2 cyl Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #3 Intake Valve Exhaust Valves.. #1 cyl Exhaust Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #6 Exhaust Valve #8 cyl Exhaust Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #5 Exhaust Valve #4 cyl Exhaust Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #7 Exhaust Valve #3 cyl Exhaust Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #2 Exhaust Valve #6 cylExhaust Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #1 Exhaust Valve #5 cyl Exhaust Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #8 Exhaust Valve #7 cylExhaust Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #4 Exhaust Valve #2 cyl Exhaust Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #3 Exhaust Valve Remember the driver's side bank from to rear is 1, 3, 5, 7... Pass side front to rear is 2, 4, 6, 8 When your adjusting the valves, spin the push rod with your fingers as you tighten the nut, STOP tighten the nut as soon as you feel the pushrod get alittle hard to turn.. Then add your preload.. 1/2 round turn on the adjuster nut is about right for the pre load.
