Reply to "valve adjustment questions"

mike the snake (Guest)

Actually, to me, compared to every other solid lifter motor I've run into, this motor runs quiet as a mouse.

I remember hearing the ticking before hearing the engine on a couple cars a long time ago.

My motor runs extremely quiet IMO. I inspected the valvetrain when I had the covers off, but didn't measure (I was more concentrated on inspecting and getting the motor back together, plus, Roger said he had recently adjusted them, and they all felt close).

I expect everything is good, or very close to where it's supposed to be. Cam sheet says .020 I think.

I just want to adjust the valves myself, go through the motions, make sure everything is set perfectly, just part of my learning my car and part of the beginning of my never ending maintainance of the car.
