look in the classics section on this site there is a the "capn's valve adjustment proceedure".
The one I use is to put the gearbox is 5th. jack up one side of the car, remove both valve covers. Spin the wheel that is in the air till you see a rocker depress all the way( it does not matter what rocker it is), adjust the valve lash and the opposite side of the rocker that is depressed. I.E. if #1 ex. is depressed all the way, adjust the #3ex valve lash Internally, the valves opposite each other share a common cam lobe. If one is fully depressed, the other is on the back of the cam. It takes a bit longer thatn the capn's proceedure but it can still be done in about 20-25mins. |
