adjustin valves

[George Miller]

A easy way to adjust valves when you are rebuilding a model A engine. Is make a handle with extension on it, you can weld it to a old cam nut. It should stick out farther than the crank shaft. Then before you put the timing gears on ,use that to turn the cam to adjust the valves. With adjustable lifters it is easy and fast. You will not have to turn that stiff new rebuild.

That sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the tip.

good idea george. i adjust them with no valve springs installed, just hold them closed with my thumb. i give them a final check after installing springs.

here are a couple of pictures, not fancy but work good. The one on the left is for when the crank is out and one on the right is for when the crank is in.
