My Crower instructions showed 1/4 - 1/2 turn MAX.
- Bernd
> With my Crowler 1.7s:
>
> loosen all the plugs so the engine turns easy, ya don't have to take them
> all the way out, just fairly loose.
>
> going in the normal firing order, remove the plug for each cylinder, watch
> the piston while someone else turns the motor.
>
> bring each piston to near TDC before the power stroke so both valves are
> closed.
>
> back the both adjusters way out so the lifter plungers can freely push the
> rods/rockers all the way up.
>
> wait about 1-2 minutes for both plungers to fully top out then finger
> tighten both adjusters to "0" lash
>
> After "0" lash make "one full turn in" and tighten the center lock screw
>
> I know one full turn is a bit more than what is recommended but it's
> certainly within an acceptable tolerance, I've never had a problem with this
> much pre-load and it beats throwing a rocker and possibly major engine
> damage.
>
> I've been running by this procedure for about 40 K miles with no problems.
