i replaced yesterday the gaskets from the valve cover, and i had to replace the ones between the rocker arm assembly and the head. after replacement, i tigtened everything to the torque listed in the chiltons and haynes, but when i started the engine it sounded like a machine gun. do i need to do the valve adjustament too ? i haven't touched the adjustament screws, but i noticed some of them were worn. where can i get new ones ? does anyone know the specs for the valves ?
