Answer
hi-well set the trimming at 8 and if you do not know what to set the valves at and if they are solids you are in trouble. if they are hydraulic. you just loosen the rocker till it clacks than turn it back in apx. 3/4 of a turn NO MORE than that it might try to stall so go real slow and if it gets real rough go to 1/2 a turn in place of 3/4 . you got to find the cam specs.thats like the heart of the motor
