Car sat for 3 hours to cool before starting.
Find TDC for cylinder #1 (distributor where it should be & mark in the right spot in the fan housing). Adjusted both intake & Exhaust to .15mm. Done Move onto Cylinder #2. Rotate the drivers rear wheel counter clockwise. Find the notch in the bottom of the flywheel. Through the little hole on the bottom of the bell housing. Adjust both intake & exhaust again to 0.15m. Done Move onto Cylinder 3. Rotate the rear wheel until I find the mark on the flywheel. verify I have it at TDC again at the distributor. Adjust both the intake & Exhaust again to 0.15. Done Move onto Cylinder #4. Adjust both the intake & Exhaust again to 0.15. Done (not (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ) I put my valve covers back on. Get the car back on the ground & fire it up. Runs rough. I shut it off & think (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) did I forget. So I go back through the whole valve adjustment in my head. I think I have this down the farther I got along. Cylinders 3 & 4 went much quicker (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) . Son of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . Forgot to rotate the wheel & get TDC for #4 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) . Guess I feel a little better as it makes sense now. Just feel like an idiot for not catching it before I buttoned it all back up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
