valve noise update 200 1977

posted by  someone claiming to be Rhys on  Sun Apr 18 05:17 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi Joe;
I was out of town yesterday, so I couldn't check back.
Removing the caps one at a time is no problem, and a good idea as I mentioned.
The dampeners under the buckets will not create the noise you hear. Most of them are trashed in about 20k anyways, and do little.
If you are removing the cam soon, I can tell you a few tricks that avoid needing the special tool. I have removed and installed many over the years (its how I do valve adjustments in fact) and never broken one. They do, however, with abuse, snap.
Rhys
