Does anyone know if there is a distributer rotor position that all valves would be in the closed position? I let my car sit inside all year long and try to start it weekly for 10-15 min to get it warmed up. As long as I do this, the hydraulic lifters stay pumped up pretty good. If it sits for over two weeks, they ( one or two) clatter for some time before pumping up. My theory is that if one of the valves is in the open position, IE; the cam is putting pressure on the bottom of the lifter and the valve spring is pushing back on the top, then that one is more likely to leak down quicker.
Thanks in advance, Tom |
