u might want to pay tho just incase cuz u could burn a valve if i do it wrong
make sure u drop the vavle in the cumbustion chamber when when u do it also, i hear it creates better flow
eighty bucks? lol
dang that's out of control.....
you have the exhaust valve clearence correct,
the gap for the intake valves is .005 - .007"
but be careful breaking the bolts on then rocker arms, on an LS, they're just sitting in a ball socket up against the cam... so if you twist too hard at the wrong angle, the arm will pop out on you, and you'll have a stroke because you'll think you just broke your engine...
practice makes perfect, try it yourself. it's not hard
