How do you adjust the tappits on a 350 Chevy?
Way too involved to post here. Purchase a repair manual for instructions and details. There is an order to set lifters according to "the book" which gives details as to which intake and exhaust valve is set. What you want to do is set each individual lifter when the camshaft is not engaging the lifter to be set. I can only assume you are refering to hydrdaulic lifters, as which these instructions pertain. Start at Top Dead Center( #1 cylinder will be all the way up with intake and exhaust lifters down). With fresh parts, apply assembly lube to the cam lobes, the entire lifter (careful not to plug the little hole where the lifter rod sets), lifter rod ends, and the areas where the rocker arm makes contact with the lifter rod and the valve stem. It is very easy to wipe out a fresh cam before oil gets to it during initial start up. If you are simply readjusting a working cam/lifter combo make sure everything is oiled well. Push the lifter down til it rests on the camshaft. If the lifter is down (about flush with block) it is ready to be set. If the lifter is up at all, wait for the next revolution. Set the lifter by slowly tightening the rocker nut and wiggling/spinning the lifter rod until the lifter rod does not freely move/spin. Turn the rocker nut another 3/4 of a turn. This will set the plunger in mid travel. Repeat for all other lifters not lifting. Now turn the crankshaft one complete revolution, and set all the other lifters. Should be able to set eight lifters each crank position.
How do you stimulate appetite?
This blogger identifies with this issue and offers some tips on stimulating appetite:
"In light of my experience, and because I know there are others out there who dream of one day having curves of their own, here are my own set of tips on how to deal with a loss of appetite:
- Go to the grocery store and walk down all the aisles. If you see something that makes you feel hungry, get it.
- Keep a special stash of crackers or granola bars on hand for tough days
- Have small snacks throughout the day so that making a meal doesn't seem like such a big deal. Small bags of walnuts, raisins, an apple, some cheese and crackers, a glass of chocolate milk…
- If there is a particular food you love, indulge yourself. For me it was potatoes. Mashed, boiled, baked, fried, any way I could have them. On their own or as part of a larger meal
- Eat with friends. Make a lunch or dinner date with someone else (especially if they are aware of the difficulty). Eating is a social activity, and it's easier to eat more sometimes when you're distracted and can spread it out over a longer period of time.
- Make food with friends! Even better, as the preparation and anticipation can increase appetite as well. Again, because you're committing to eating with others, it becomes harder to avoid your body's hunger.
- Give in to the fries! Or
! If it makes you hungry, eat it, as long as you can also ensure you're meeting your nutritional requirements. For me, I occasionally began eating red meat again, a little bit at a time, because my body craved those particular tastes and nutrients. Watch out for signs of anaemia. - Try some new foods. This was a hard step for me, but once I found a method that agreed with me, I was able to try new foods, as long as I was in a comfortable, supportive, unpressured environment. Stir fry, kabobs, sweet and sour veggie meatballs, spring rolls and even avocadoes have made it into my diet."

Nature's ones only last a few seconds and are pretty weak.
