: Best cold valve adjustment method???

Hi gang,
I recently slapped a CC XE 268 into my 350, and am wondering what is the best way to adjust the rockers / valves, to get her ready for a good startup?

I purchased the K-Kit, so it has new Cam, Lifters, Timing Chain and Valvesprings etc.

I have heard that having the engine running is the best way to adjust valve on a hydraulic lifter cam, but one obviously has to be able to start it first http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif

Please excuse my novel, I hope someone can walk me through this http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif
