I am not sure your are talking about the pushrods in the valve train, but Here goes: The valves must be adjusted in sequence.

Each cylinder should be done the same way (remember to make sure the intake and exhaust are identified. From the front it is (from my memory) EI-IE-EI-IE-EI-IE. Look at the manifold to be sure. If the pushrods are too long even then, adjustable pushrods are available from several sources. Google them. JimN JimN
