So i have a 2000 Chevy 2500 with a 5.7 350. The intake and headgaskets were leaking so decided to start ripping the motor apart and freshen up the top end.
So everything is all back together now with new gaskets and the head is all back together minus the rockers and push rods with re ground valves and cleaned up but it has all the same valve train. Now i'm at the point of adjusting the valves and my question is:
Do i need to go through the process of rotating the crank to TDC and adjust 1,3,4,8 and then 1,2,5,7 and then rotate the crank to BDC and do 2,5,6,7 and then do 2,4,6,8? Or can i leave the crank and everything where its at and adjust the valves as it sits now as i never touched the crank and only took the heads off.
If someone could answer my question thatd be great.
Thanks
Tyler
