Hi Don....
read it again...it says "Next, turn the engine over until number 1 Intake valve opens completely and almost closes(watch it closely).....that means open completely and then comes back to almost close...and then adjust #1 exhaust valve....

Hope this helps....
If the new push rod is 9.360 "effective" length that's about .150" longer than a stock adjustable style push rod....not too often do we run into a long push rod with out a good reason....did you check the box the lifters came in yet....Edelbrock part number ____
Regards, george
I only mention this becasue I have received the Edelbrock Performer RPM Camshaft Kits with small block lifters in place of the correct FE lifters...and they are shorter and they would require about a .150 longer push rod....
