You should call Crower if you don't believe what I told you re: how to
correctly adjust them. Ask Marty Fletcher at www.KRCperformance.com
he'll tell ya the same thing.
If you run the truck with no covers you're gonna have about 3 quarts of oil
all over the driveway for one, second... with the unknown state you have
your rockers in, you may infact have completely compressed a few lifters, so
you'll be chasing your tail trying to get that setup correctly....
The method I went through works, and works well...
