Well, depends on what kind of lifters you have.  Hydraulics, same as =
oem. Solid lifters and cam, need a few through clearance.   High =
performance hydraulic, look to the cam maker for adjustment =
instructions. =20

I have 289 HP heads with screw in studs.  What is the cold adjustment =
they should be - no roller rockers and torque settings for the heads.?  =
Do you have to loosen the motor mounts to get the valve covers off, =
lower or raise?  I would think lower to get the valve covers off.  With =
5,000 miles since car has been redone, it is time for some sorting out.  =
The first 5,000 miles required very little and has been a blast up to 60 =
mph and curves so far.

I have changed the oil 2 times during the 5,000 miles and  what a pain =
it is to replace the filter with the stock set up.  If anyone could =
explain their process for oil filter change, that works 'easier' it =
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
