Hey Dave==This does apply to the 305 since it is a chev engine. A 301 is a PONT engine and they have stops for the adjusting nuts. The 350 and 305 have hydraulic lifters and adjust as follows: Pull the coil wire so the engine won' start and bump the engine until the valves on #1 cylinder are both closed. Now turn the engine so the timing mark is on TDC. Adjust the following valves: INT 1-2-5-7 EX 1-3-4-8 Then turn the engine one turn so now it is firing on #6 cyl and adjust the folowing valves: INT 3-4-6-8 EXH 2-5-6-7 . When adjusting the valves, loosten the adjusting nut intil there is clearance between the rocker arm and valve end. Then tighten it just until there is no clearance{you can feel this if you turn the push rod while you tighten the nut} then turn the nut 3/4 turn MORE. This will compress the valve and the lifter will compensate. You can adjust them with the engine running but the oil goes EVEYWHERE and sometimes catches on fire. GoodluckJoe

Remove the valve cover to access the tappets, then use a feeler gauge to check the clearance between the tappet and the valve stem. Adjust the tappet using the appropriate adjusting screw until the correct clearance is achieved, typically specified in the vehicle's service manual.

How do you adjust hydraulic tappets on engin?

To adjust hydraulic tappets, first ensure the engine is cold and remove the valve cover to access the tappets. Rotate the engine to position the piston of the cylinder you're adjusting at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. Using a feeler gauge, check the clearance between the tappet and the rocker arm; if necessary, adjust the tappet by turning the adjustment screw or nut until the correct clearance is achieved. Finally, recheck the clearance and replace the valve cover.
