unless somebody has changed them and the cam.. they are hydraulic...

warning...  read up on various cam supplier web sites... on how to do this... and in the factory service manual....

look for the  crane cams web site... the comp cams web site..  


so many people screw this up..   if they are not clicking... while running.. leave them alone...

if you are getting noisy rocker arms...  where there are little clicking noises.. first check for exhaust leaks.. as they sound just like noisy rockers when the exhaust manifolds get loose... tick tick tick tick...  believe me when i say this..

90 percent of the chevy motors built.,. never need a valve adjustment..  they just run.. ...  

if you really want to adjust them... and have noises..  hit the reply button and post some more information about what the problem and noises are...  

i have even run into 30 year mechanics who do foreign cars who have trouble adjusting chevy valves..

post .. and you will get an answer... but it will take me about half an hour to type it out..
