I get if you're doing valve adjustments by putting just one side of the car up but if you're on a lift (I have an EZCar Lift) it's a bit awkward for me to stop one wheel from turning (with my foot) while spinning the other to get to the next adjustment point.
Anyone use a ratchet strap or similar? Seems a floor jack under the wheel would just get pushed out of the way... Thanks, Brian |

I have one and use it but haven't felt it was accurate enough.
I’ll try again! |

QUOTE(FlacaProductions @ Apr 26 2024, 01:15 AM)  I have one and use it but haven't felt it was accurate enough. I’ll try again! Why do you need to be that accurate? You take both valve covers off and use a remote starter button to bump the motor until the front exhaust valve on the left side is open. Then you go adjust the front exhaust valve on the right side. Repeat until you have all the valves adjusted. The cam only has 4 lobes, so if the valve on the left side is open, the valve on the right side is on the base circle. Right where you need it for valve adjustments. |
