Thats exactly how we did it the Chevy dealer, its fast and it works and only requires 1 revelution.....It doesn`t do well on performance hydraulic lumpy idle or solid cams
Great Video, thank you for sharing, I am curious however why do you opt for half a turn after 0 lash, my service manual states to go 1 full turn after 0 lash and another very common one is 3/4 turn after 0 lash is found, it seems to be quite the debate, how often do you like to adjust the valves on a stock 350? I will be doing the lash adjustment on my new to me 99 tahoe after a long list of other things and absolutely love the obs chevy Regards
The best thing to do is 1/2 turn. Then run the engine. You'll need to adjust after if there are performance or compression issues. It's better for that route just in case a full turn bottoms out your valves on the pistons. And that's a bad time.
Thanks for this series, I had 2 4 Gen Novas and always wanted to do a factory restore. But everything always got out of hand towards the hi-po end of things and originality went right out the window. 😅
@@threeriverswrench thank you 🙏 I've watched a bunch of videos on here and Your's is the best one made it easy to understand All the other's make it look more complicated than it is thank you again 🙏

Thanks for watching!! It’s been fun so far!
What make of ratchet is that? Great video once again
That one is a snap-on. I don’t have a lot of their tools,but I love their ratchets.
Hi I'm going to be doing mine on Monday but I was wondering does the engine have to be on the compression stroke ?
@@AlexMaya-f3f I believe it’s the best way for an accurate adjustment. So I’d say yes.
