Assuming the lifters are hydraulic, adjust each valve when FULLY closed to zero lash then turn in one additional turn, done.

How often do you adjust valves on 850 suzuki c50?
First of all, it's not 850cc, it's 805cc. You want to adjust your valves when they get noticeably louder or quieter. Louder = loose. Quieter = tight. Loose is better than tight. Too tight can lead to burnt valves and low compression. I adjust my valves at the start of every season.
What causes a 91 colt to have no compression and not start when its cold but once the day starts warming up it has compression and starts?
Adjust the valves, when its cold the metal shrinks and the valves stay open when the day starts warming up, or friction from turning it over and over will heat the block and expand the metal closing the valves that's why it starts in the day or when its warm. adjust the valves and it will start every time.

How do you adjust tappets on 8 valve scenic?
you will need some tools and valve clearance specification, i think you know that.here may be you are asking about the position of the crank for adjusting the valves. if it is rocker with adjusting screw you can adjust with that. if you have shims on the valve bucket under the camshaft then you can adjust by changing it to the proper size of shim. * adjust any valve which is loose, you can check if the valve can be adjusted or not by rotating the crank about 30 degree clockwise and counter clockwise from the existing position and if the valve does not start to open and stays loose then that valve is in good position for adjusting. * mark the Valves you have adjusted. * rotate the crank one more turn and adjust the other valves. * mark the valves you have adjusted. * if you have still some valves left rotate and make it loose i think this will help you somewhat.

Setting valves on 350 with hydralic lifters and roller rockers?
Chevy 350 small block engines with hydralic lifters set at 0 lash. That means start the engine and adjust the valve until it just quits clicking. Then tighten the nut approx 3/4-1 turn then set the next one.
How do you adjust Chevrolet valves?
Depending on what motor it is, the most common being the 350, you should want to to start by putting the motor on top dead center, compression stroke. then using the firing order,1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. Adjust the valves in that order, by turning the crank a quarter of a turn, you will bring each cylinder to tdc individually. Start with number one then move in that order. You want to set the valves at zero lash then give them a third to a half turn further after reaching zero lash.

Without seeing it it is impossible to correctly diagnoise. Take it to a garage.
