My crate 350 has noise coming from driver rocker. I used the screw driver to listen through it, sounds sloppy. I am just wondering how you torque them on a chevy motor? Thanks you, I know fords you just torque down all the way but how do you do a chevy motor?

The correct way to adjust the valves is to bring each cylinder to top dead cylinder. Loosen rocker arms for free play at push rods. While moving push rod up and down tighten rocker arm nut till no play is felt. Do this procedure slowly so you dont over tighten. From there turn the nut one full turn 360 degrees. Then move to the next cylinder repeating procedure.
