Yes you can, but you can do a better job with less mess by adjusting the preload with the engine not running.
With the engine at #1 TDC, you can set 1, 2, 5, & 7 intakes and 1, 3, 4, & 8 exhausts. Rotate the engine one revolution to #6 TDC and adjust the rest.
To adjust: tighten the nut on the rocker until there is no up and down motion of the pushrod (0 backlash) plus an extra 1/4-1/2 turn for preload.

Do the 305 vortec and 350 vortec have the same heads?
No. The 350 has bigger valves. While you CAN put the 305 heads on the 350, (I can't imagine why you would actually want to) you can NOT put the 350 heads on the 305. Because of the 305's small bore, the valves on the 350 heads will hit the cylinder block.
How do you adjust the carb on a 2000 Honda xr100?
there is a screw on the carb. be sure to adjust while the engine is running so you can tell by the idle when it is set properly.
What is an interference engine?
It refers to an engine where the area occupied by the valves when they are open is occupied by the piston when the valves are closed. If the timing belt lets go while the engine is running the piston will smash the open valves doing loads of damage.
How much horsepower does a vortec 327 have?
Chevy never made a 327 vortec. the last time they produced a 327 was in 1969, while the first vortec was made in the early 1990s.
Is the Volvo B6304F an interference engine?
Yes. If the timing belt breaks while the engine is running you will bend the valves and probably damage the pistons.
Nissan Pick up engine while running sounds high or revvs high?
if it's a carb. adjust your idle screw out.
Timing belt broke when running will it brake valves?
Usually yes, mine just went while driving on a motorway and it took out four valves. I spoke to the recovery guy and he said he has never seen a case where it did not do damage to the valves. This combined with other possible damage caused can potentially write off a car depending on its value. To be honest I cannot imagine a scenario in which a timing belt would break when the engine is not running, real question is how hard is it running.
If your 1997 GMC 5.7L Vortec has a misfire at idle but not while under throttle whats the problem?
If your 1997 GMC 5.7L Vortec has a misfire at an idle but not while under throttle, the problem is likely the timing. This can be adjusted.
How do you adjust valves on a 95 S10 4.3 vortec?
If you look in hood a sticker will tell you the clearance but you get a wrench and a screw driver and a set of feeler gauges. Rotate the motor till.your #1 cylinder is at TDC on compression stroke all.valves will be closed cam.lobes away from the rockers this is when.to.adjust the valves. Losses the nut on the vale back the screw out and stick the feeler gauge in for which ever valve your doing. Then tighten the screw so the gauge can move freely but you have no vertical movement from the rocker arm. Hold the screw and tighten the nut. Recheck to make sure you didn't over tighten the screw while tightening the nut down by sliding the gauge through again. Then move to the next valve. On the f22b1 I believe with #1 at TDC you can also do #4 then turn the motor 180 so 2 is at TDC and adjust 2&3. That should do it.
What are the torque specs for the rocker arm nut in a 1998 Model 5.7 Liter engine or do they have be tightened all the way down with no pressure on the valve springs?
you adjust while it is running
How do you adjust the clutch on a 1996 Saturn SL2 I can't put it in gear while its running and hard to shift when moving?
If you have a hydraulic clutch you may just need to add fluid.
When timing belt breaks while running can valves hit the pistons?
It can happen in some vehicles. That's one of the reasons so many manufacturers have a time schedule for replacing the timing belt.
