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 |

I know for a fact that the distributor mark is off, but we did find the 0 mark on the fan and my previous TDC mark on the flywheel.
We turned the engine so that the valve was all the way open, the screw was all the way backed out, but it was still completely tight. Will moving the engine 180 matter at this point? We are going to study up on the Krusty method and apply it this weekend, but Im not sure if that even comes into play yet.. |
