A big milestone, engine and tranny are back in car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Thanks to all who have helped me get this far.
I have reconnected clutch cable before anything else as I want to make sure this whole thing with the arm is correct. I now have 3/4 -1" play when pulling pedal up. I think there is still enough slack in cable that excess pressure is not on TOB. When pedal fully depressed to floor there is about 3/8" (rough measure) remaining before arm would hit the trans case. Here is pic of cable end. Does everything sound like it is within spec? Thx |

A stock valve adjustment means that, when cold, the rocker arms will have play that you can feel when the cylinder is at TDC. So you don't have to try reaching the pushrods, just wiggle the rocker arms. If they wiggle, there is play. If they don't, then the valve is probably being held open.

If you would like to confirm that the pushrods are properly seated, you will need to see if you can freely spin them because if you do spin one that is not seated properly, it will fall into the seat.... But, I noticed you are about the bring it to a shop for the final setup.... |
