Default Re: Valve Lash Adjustment: running or not?

I personally advise using the "EOIC" method, i.e. "exhaust opening intake closing" method.

With the engine at operating temp (and turned off), adjust one cylinder at a time on each bank. Carefully bump the engine over just until the exhaust rocker starts to open the valve. Stop, and adjust the intake valve on that cylinder. Then bump the engine over again just until the intake rocker has started to close. Stop, then adjust the exhaust valve for that cylinder. This method ensures that the lifter is down on the heel of the lobe.

Lather, rinse and repeat as necessary.
