    Remove valve cover and you can adjust the nut accordingly. Should be .004-.006 or adjust by should. Just don't over tighted. Remove the cover carefully to try to save the gasket.

    Huh, I Certaninly Hope That You Placed The Engine At Tdc And Then Turned The Flywheel Another 1/4" On The Compression Stroke. Then Set Both Valves At .005. Good Luck.
