I've got an 80 Vanagon and I've been rebuilding the engine.  When
adjusting the valvles to their initial setting (2 clockwise turns) I looked
at the valves through the spark plug hole and noticed the exhaust
valve was opening.  Will this be a problem?  I thought maybe the
pushrod tube might not be seated in the lifter correctly.  I will check it
with a little flashlight tomorrow.  In the past when I have done an
initial valve adjustment the lifters were a little spongy. This time
several of them held their pressure and I could not depress them
with my finger.  Anyway, I just want to know if I am adjusting them
right.
