I recently read about setting the valve lash at 0.0" in a type IV engine. He was running swivel foot adjusters. How can this be??????? If so it would certainly make the engine quieter.

has anyone studied the difference that the swivel foot adjusters deliver versus the stock adjusters?
Based upon the geometry, the stock adjusters actually spin the valve each cycle just a bit. Does that still occur with the swivel foot adjusters? Are they more accurate in maintaining the correct adjustments over the long period? rich |
