Zero lash then 1/2 turn. The FSM says 1 turn. I have also went up to 1 full turn and have adjusted with the engine running.

I Adjusted it every which way. The cam lobes appear to be fine. As I stated-new push rods.

I even called Gordon Killebrew and he said LT1's have valve train noise-it's normal.

It runs great-so I will live with it.

Thanks for the help!
