Re: [Chrysler300] saving time while adjusting valves

[dan300f@xxxxxxx]

John and all:

Back in the '50's when I had my 1956 Dodge D-500, I would warm up the engine, 
remove the valve covers, reattach the plug wires and start the engine.  With 
a long screw driver in the adjusting screw, the other end against my ear, and 
a box end wrench on the tightening nut, I would loosen the nut, turn the screw 
driver in or out until the ticking noise disappeared and then tightened the 
nut.  Got the correct gap every time and a quiet engine.  Never lost a drag 
race.
