[Chrysler300] Adjusting valves

["Jim Maiani" <jmaiani@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good morning group.  I hope everyone is doing well.  I'm not a mechanic, so I've hired a Mechanic to help me and he has a question that I KNOW someone can answer.  Keep in mind this is the first Chrysler he's worked on. (Don't laugh....he's a Chevy guy)(I guess somebody has to drive those things).

We've dug in and are replacing valve seals in my original 413 in my H.  (The original seals are as hard as metal).  He's concerned about adjusting the valves once we're done.  He's explained how he does it in a Chevy, but says it's different here.  I have an original service manual, but I can't find any procedure on how to adjust the valves.  Now the question:

Do the valves need to be adjusted? (I would think they do, listening to him).  Can someone explain how to do this?

Thanks as always for your help

Has anyone had their dash painted as part of a restoration? Any tips on
color match & type of paint would be greatly appreciated.

Happy holidays!
