Does anyone know or have the proper procedure for adjusting the lifters/valves on a non-jet solid lifter 2.6L head (Caravan)

My valvetrain clacks worse than phils diesel!

with the engine warmed up,shut it off and take the valve cover off.then you can turn the crank so that the valve you are working on is closed(not on the lobe).intake is .006 and exhaust is .010 but i always use .009.then i just keep turning the crank and checking what ever valve that is closed at the time till all of them are done.then put your valve cover back on.

If you set the crank on tdc #1, you can adjust 4 of the valves. Then turn one full rev back to the mark and you can set the other 4. I use .007 and .010 on int. and exh. per some manual I read a long time ago.
