clearances,  it is  possible  that  the push  rods may 
become  dislodged 
from the  tappet  seating and 
fracture  the  tappet  slide. 
To prevent damage, 
eliminate  all clearance  from  any  loose rockers 
bcfore turning  the crankshaft to adjust  the 
clearances. 
2. Turn the engine  over until  number  eight valve 
(counting  from front  of...
