So I have some extra valve covers I can cut a window in to adjust my valves. I happen to have at least one 292 with the cam shaft that has to line up all the holes before the oil comes out the tube on the end of the rocker assembley. When I turn the oil pump manually with the oil path open to the rockers, it floods the resivoir with so much oil I have to stop turning the pump. Im thinking if I adjust the rockers while the engine is running, there will not be as much oil. But if there is, this is going to be messy.

Then there is the issue of which type of adjusters you have on the rockers. The ones that turn easy after you back off the adjusting nut, or the ones that turn hard with no adjustment nut. I have heard there were special tools just for adjusting these rockers. Did they work for both styles of rocker adjusters ( lock nut and no lock nut)?

How much oil is going to get spattered all over the engine compartment when I adjust my rockers?
