setting the valves....quick question 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be shayne on  Tue Jul 12 07:11 CST 2005 [RELATED]

They are or can be noisy, nothin' to worry about unless it gets noisier in a short period of time. That's usually an indication of a bad timing gear-sounds a lot like clackety valves.

The quick and dirty:
Note where number one spark plug wire is and remove cap. Find 0 degrees on the crank pulley...you're distributor rotor should now be pointing at (where) number 1 or number 4 (spark plug wire was).

At #1 TDC, adjust valves # 1, 2, 3, and 5.
Turn the crank 360 degrees.
At #4 TDC, adjust valves # 4, 6, 7, and 8.

There is a very precise method in the Tech Archive at www.vclassics.com

Best,
Shayne.
