We, walterolin and I, were trying to adjust the valve on my newly rebuilt engine tonight and we couldnt get the intake valve on #1 to loosen. We found TDC, 0 mark on the fan and #1 exhaust valve adjusted just fine. The problem is that I loosened the screw completely on the intake valve and I still could not get the feeler gage in there and it wouldnt budge (slightly rattle) when we tried to shake it by hand. Its REALLY tight.
After that we turned the engine so that the valve was for sure all the way open, and nothing. The screw is all the way backed out and its completely tight no matter what position it is in. What could cause this? My engine builder told me that he adjusted all of them to .006, so it obviously was correct at some point. At a loss here.. THanks |

Excuse me, but why would you ever remove the rocker assemblies in order to install the pr tube retaining spring? The Cap'n Yep. That's just bass ackwards. I'm not even sure how you would put the wire in before the rockers. Happy Festivus! At least the last couple of times I have done it, I put the spring under the pushrods then as you put the rockers on, you put the tabs on the spring in the slots on the rocker bases. Then I tightened the rockers down, then pulled the pushrod retention tabs up into place with a dental hook. When I didnt put the spring in before the rockers, it seemed like you would need to bend the spring to get it down far enough and in the slots on the rocker bases. It also holds the pushrods up so they align with the rocker caps easier. But I guess there is wrong way to do it so I'll stop doing that..... |
