Default Help, stumped

Rebuilt bottom end of engine and all seemed fine. Started great. But can not do final adjustments because can not seem to adjust valves. Push rods will seem to work loose or nut bottoms out.I never had a lifter or valve problem before the rebuild. only thing done to heads was new seals, everything else was fine before. I have tried the cold adjust and even the get wet with oil way. Oil preasure is good and every lifter is getting lots of oil.: wolfen1949@aol.com Help need to be able to drive it before cold weather hits.

Give the Crane Kool Nuts a try. They fit over the Pontiac rocker arm studs and have the hex lock nut on top. They are only around $30.
