Place the cylinder at Top Dead Center.  Loosen the valve adjusting screw
until it just touches the pushrod - then tighten two full turns.  Do this
for each cylinder.  The first cylinder is easy to find TDC - just follow the
mark on the pulley.  Use the distributor to find TDC on the rest of the
cylinders.

Why would a misadjust valve cause an oil light to flash?  Your hydraulic
lifters should compensate if the adjustment is not too far off.

Also, check the oil pressure valve.

Good luck,

Paul Borghese
