Hey Mike. Sounds like you have something out of whack in the valve adjustment. When you adjust the valves with the motor not running, you can get close but you will still need to adjust them with the motor running. Go to your local parts house and get a set of clips that you can put over the oil holes on the rocket. They are a small wire configuration with a white plug that you stick down in the hole. A little practice and they will stay on OK. They are inexpensive and a lot less headache than trying to cut an old valve cover with a slot down the middle. This will keep the oil from splashing in your face while you are adjusting the valves. I normally adjust one side at a time. Loosen the rocket studs until you hear the lifter rattling and then turn it down until it stops. Now turn it down another 1/4 turn and you should be OK. Don"t let the motor run too long with these clips on as you are depriving the top of the engine of oil. A few minutes will be OK. Put the valve cover back on and do the other side. Make sure you are in time and you should be OK. Hope this helps.
