Then, using a feeler gauge, measure the gap between the rocker arm and the valve stem for each cylinder. Adjust the gap by turning the adjusting screw on the rocker arm until the feeler gauge fits snugly, maintaining the specified clearance (typically around 0.008 inches for intake and 0.010 inches for exhaust). Finally, recheck the adjustments and reassemble the valve cover.
