Quick RR adjustment Question.
I just put some new springs and some SA 1.6 RR I was going to adjust them with the car running, but was wondering how tight i should tighten them before I started the car thanks.

Very much agreed. However I've always just set them to zero lash and then started it instead of putting anything on the adjustment past lash.
If you just tighten the rockers where they sit and start the engine you can get some ugly noises as well as valves hanging open. Not a good idea.

Ok now im having a problem my rockers nut keep loosening up...and it getting really have to take the alternator off, and put it back on it run the car with the valve covers off to re-adjust them this is the thrid time i've thought it was ok them i go to drive the car and they loosen up using after giving it a decent amount of throttle after they are ticking. Last time it was only one that caused the ticking, but all the polylocks on the passenger side were loose. The drivers side was fine. I don't know how much more I can tighten the locks, unless I need to tighten the nut more? god this is annoying if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

The way I made sure my poly locks were tight is to set the rocker to 0 lash, tighten it 1/8 of a turn, tighten the set screw and then tighten the nut another 1/8 of a turn. I'm not sure it's right, but it's worked for me so far.

not sure what crowned means but, theres a nut and a allen key thing in the center. I'm going out to try it again if its the same rocker on number 8 thats loose again..then I guess I'm just going to re-lash it and do a 1/2 turn or maybe a 3/4 turn on it maybe I didn't tighten it enough last time, but im pretty sure I did and all the other rockers seem to be ok.

You would think so but I couldn't get it. it does suck to take it off, remove the covers, then put it back on so you can start the car (without valve covers)

Are you using the stock studs? ARP studs?
