Car sat for 3 hours to cool before starting.
Find TDC for cylinder #1 (distributor where it should be & mark in the right spot in the fan housing). Adjusted both intake & Exhaust to .15mm. Done Move onto Cylinder #2. Rotate the drivers rear wheel counter clockwise. Find the notch in the bottom of the flywheel. Through the little hole on the bottom of the bell housing. Adjust both intake & exhaust again to 0.15m. Done Move onto Cylinder 3. Rotate the rear wheel until I find the mark on the flywheel. verify I have it at TDC again at the distributor. Adjust both the intake & Exhaust again to 0.15. Done Move onto Cylinder #4. Adjust both the intake & Exhaust again to 0.15. Done (not (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ) I put my valve covers back on. Get the car back on the ground & fire it up. Runs rough. I shut it off & think (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) did I forget. So I go back through the whole valve adjustment in my head. I think I have this down the farther I got along. Cylinders 3 & 4 went much quicker (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) . Son of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . Forgot to rotate the wheel & get TDC for #4 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) . Guess I feel a little better as it makes sense now. Just feel like an idiot for not catching it before I buttoned it all back up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Read the pelican tech article. Question Cap'n ? You said .006 intake & .008 exhaust for a 1.8 & a 2.0. The pelican article says the 1.7 & 1.8 are both .006? Since ill be going back in. I want to make sure I get it right. So good sir what is the right number?
Your method definitely will be easier & makes sense |

Since ill be going back in. I want to make sure I get it right. So good sir what is the right number? Only the sodium-filled exhaust valve on the 2.0 uses the 0.008" spec. All 1.7 and 1.8 valves, and the 2.0 intake, are set to 0.006". There is one reference (I forget which one) that lists the 0.008" spec for 1.8 exhaust valves, but it is wrong. --DD |
