Another Valve question

[bruce68]

Hello everyone

I am new to this forum thing. I just purchased an 85 454 and as you guessed.....it needs a valve adjustment. I have been reading alot of helpful tips here which is great but I just have a question on the tach gear. It says "Slide a

piece of vacuum hose on the tach gear to keep it from falling

into the motor when you remove the head."
Just wondering if anyone has more info on this as I cannot find any diagrams. I really don't want the tach gear to fall into the head so if anyone can give me some clarity on this I would really appreciate it.

Just slide a piece of hose over the tip of the drive after you remove the tach cable & before you remove the valve cover.
