first, dont loosen after theyre tightened the up/down play shouldnt be there either. tighten the nut slowly till you remove any up/down movement from the pushrod. give it another 1/2 turn past that, tighten the lock, and youre set

dont make the mistake of tightening (initially) till you remove all spin from the pushrod, only the up/down movement.

if youre to loosen at all after, loosen completely and retighten again. dont tighten down and then loosen.

make sense?

and i suppose you are tightening them at TDC #1 and #6, right?

Make sure the piece in the middle of the rocker body has the right side up.
