Default Re: 8BA Valve locks with head on?

When adjusting valves you can take the thread pitch and find out how much one turn will move the adjuster. Then divide that number by 6 and see how much one flat on the adjuster will move. You can now bring the lifter up so a wrench will fit make the adjustment now put the lifter back on base circle and see what you have. Time consuming but after a couple of valves you will get the hang of it. Are the lifter bores drilled?
To answer your post asked for a answer the rope trick will work.
