Default Re: Valve Adjusting Micrometer Tool Picture

Watch Fiat Nuzt on Utube machine shop in Calf. He came up with a jig for this its a V8
59A but same deal for a A. And he sells these jigs. pretty slick tool. I still do one at
a time, maybe fifty times then gotta sit down. My Kwik Way has this jig to grind the
stems but its still trial & error......Fact or fiction; as a teen in the shop, my father
pounded me to check the lash was to install - springs and keeper not just your finger
holding the valve down. I still do this. We all know this is time consuming so my big
question is; how in hell did they do this in the factory making a thousand + or- a day.
For that you need a thousand people for one? no they had some jig that measured the
cam to the seat, then a jig measuring the seat to the stem. this is what Fiat Nuzt machined.................................
