Answer
Jesse,

Adjust the cam followers.  These are much like the old rocker arms in cam in block engines.  Basically, you take the valve cover off and the cam followers are on top.  Adjust the valves to the specification under the hood.  There is a sticker that gives the hot and cold lash adjustment.
