This engine has what is called a valve rocker assembly and it not adjustable like on other engines. This engine has camshafts in the heads so it is called and overhead cam and normally the valves that have adjustable rockers are the cam in block engines as you need to adjust them to ensure there is no lash in the push rods.

This engine does not have push rods so it is not adjustable.

I attached the info below on how to replace the assemblies in case you need to do this.

Please run through this and let us know if you have other questions.

Thanks
