I'm feeling so basic and unable to mentally figure this out
On a 300TDi I replaced the rocker arms because the face on all of them were all toast. So will all new rocker parts I am starting from square one. How do I go about setting each valve to be closed/open in the right way? I have looked for so long on instructions for this but haven't found anything. I have found plenty of adjusting videos and guides and the rule of 9 in many of them. They all have the rocker arms untouched and in order mostly for reinstall.
My idea (Not sure if its stupid wrong or not) is for each valve/rocker arm: When each push rod is all the way down this is when the spring valve should be closed (zero spring compression) and this would be where I screw the tappet into contact with the push rod while the rocker face is touching the valve cap. Repeat this for every valve.
Then go through it all again doing the rule of 9 adjustment procedure to set the clearances correctly.
I'd love assistance soon whether its a video link, explanation, or being told that my idea is correct.
