•  Loosening the locknut and the adjust screw while the cam lobe is not pressing down the rocker arm will damage the claw of the rocker arm. When loosening the locknut and the adjust screw, rotate the crankshaft clockwise and be sure that the cam lobe presses down the rocker arm firmly as shown in the figure.
