Okay, so I just need a logic/brain check here. I've been doing valve adjustments the Cap'ns way since I got the car, but Rich suggested I try a go/no go method to see if I can figure out what is causing my backfiring problem.
Basically, I need to get one valve open as far as possible, making sure that the OPPOSITE valve is as closed as possible. In this case, #1 exhaust and # 3 exhaust. So if I'm looking at #1 exhaust and it is open (the rocker has play in it) then the #3 exhaust should be closed solid, correct? Rich, sorry to post this for all to see, I'm just looking for an answer quickly so I can get this buttoned back up before it's dark. Thanks for your help! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) and if I had the ability to attempt a teardown and rebuild, I would. But looking at a picture of a cam, it only has one lobe per cylinder.
http://www.socalautoparts.com/images/product/ENG_6210.jpg In my head, it is as follows: An intake valve on the #1 cylinder is fully closed at TDC, then the intake valve on #3 should be fully open, at the peak of the lobe, no? |
