I did a valve adjustment today(first one ever (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) ) went really well up until the point the valve covers went back on. I have been fighting with the piece of metal that goes over the valve cover for hours and they won't go, what am i doing wrong? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Are you talking about the "bail" that goes over the valve cover and locks down the valve cover? If so push the bail (piece of metal") on the valve cover as far up as it will go by hand. Take a screw driver and put it underneath the bail and lever the bail close. I usually put a wide piece of wood underneath the screwdriver head so it doesn't dent the valve cover.  |
