	How do you adjust valves on this beast?  The GM repair
manual says to adjust them until there is no play between the
rocker arm and the valve stem and the lifter.  Then tighten down
one full turn.
	Me and a friend did this, and on some of the cylinders we
were afraid we would break the bolt.  When we were finished we
couldn't start the car.  We backed off on all the cylinders
and finally it was it's old noisy self.
	How do you really do it?  This car's valves are really
noisy.
