Assumming you don't have a roller or solid lifter cam ( those get adjusted with a feeler gauge ) , the best way I've found is the following:

1) warm the motor to normal temp.

2) remove one of the valve covers and install splash clips ( JEGS sells them ) on each rocker OR take an old steel valve cover, cut the center out so you can get a socket oneach of the rocker nuts, and install that in place of your pretty ones.

3) start the engine and let it idle

4) SLOWLY loosen the first rocker arm nut until you hear that lifter tap. Then SLOWLY retighten the nut until the tapping stops.

5) If you want more topend power, tighter the nut another 1/4 to 1/2 turn. If you want more bottom end power, tighten the nut a full turn past where it stopped tapping.

6)repeat this for each lifter on the first side

7) remove the spash clips or modified valve cover and install your shinny one

8) repeat on the other side

9)if they seem to go out of adjustment quickly invest in 16 new rocker arm nut from the dealer and do the same procedure again

10)BIG THING is adjust slowly and keep things clean

11) good luck !!!

== == Chevrolet is a division of General Motors (ticker symbol: old General Motors MTLQQ, New General Motors is Private) and does not trade independently. 7/1/09 "GM management has noticed the continuing high trading volume in GM's common stock at prices in excess of $1. GM management continues to remind investors of its strong belief that there will be no value for the common stockholders in the bankruptcy liquidation process, even under the most optimistic of scenarios. Stockholders of a company in chapter 11 generally receive value only if all claims of the company's secured and unsecured creditors are fully satisfied. In this case, GM management strongly believes all such claims will not be fully satisfied, leading to its conclusion that GM common stock will have no value. "
