    Low voltage

    First off I would disconnect the battery and bring it up to a full charge slowly! Then do a test on it to see if it draws down quickly. If you don't have a load tester then bring it to Auto Zone fully charged and ask them to check it for you. They do this free of charge so it's worth the...

    valve adjustment

    I've found that the best way to adjust the lifters is to do a basic by the book starting point. Then I do the final adjustment with the vechiel running.
