Re: Valve adjusting
For "olden timerz" or anyone else, the simplest method to remember is, start at #1 ex and go straight down the line. Just mark each one with chalk after it is done.
When you get to the point where you can't see the chalk marks, get your grand son to help you... |

Re: Valve adjusting
I use the technique where you set the motor to a particular position and can adjust 6 valves, then another position and you can do 6 more, then a final position and the last 4 get done.
I would imagine the post above about using the wheel to turn the motor would benefit from this method as it involves the least amount of motor turning. I got the method from a Motors manual. Mart. |

Re: Valve adjusting
Trouble with those Chevies was that the valve stems wore into the rocker arm faces and would chew up a feeler gauge if you tried to adjust while running! You couldn't get an accurate adjustment with the engine off, either.
