Quick Q on valves

Out of curiousity, do you have to adjust all 16 valves at the same time for an '85 or can you do just a couple?

You can adjust any number you wish but if your going to the trouble of pulling the valve covers you might as will check them all.

or at least that whole side...and write down which rockers were loose, if the noise comes back shortly its a sign that the adjusting nut is not holding and needs to be replaced, or (hope not) the cam lobes are leaving town in the dark of night.

I woke up early this morning and wrote a lengthly response on adjusting the valves on a L98 motor. Here is the link: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1583693

I hope this is helpful to you and Happy New Year!
