I was adjusting my valve lash and I was wondering if there was a way that I could tell when the valves were supposed to be in there fully closed position? I got to the last 4 exhaust valves and noticed that there were 2 fully closed and 2 slightly closed. And when I say slightly closed, I mean that I barely noticed them at all. Should I adjust these to be fully closed or leave them alone? Any ideas?

 

if u set it to top dead center using the marks on the cam gear, u can measure the open valves, then rotate 90 degrees, repeat, do this all the way arounf and then u should have hit all the valves when they are fully open

 

Uh, I thought that it was rotate 180 degrees.

 

yah, my bad , i didnt specify, u rotate the crankshaft 180, and the camshaft will rotate 90 degrees

 

it doesnt matter were the cam gear is at just make sure the rocker is touching the lobe of the cam and that its on the opposite side

 

CLP, that cool. I was just thinking "Oh hell, I did mine wrong!!!" Then I though "No I did it right." and checked my book to make sure. ROFL

 

So am I correct in thinking that 1-4 exhaust valves will be closed at the same timeand 5-8 exhaust valves will be closed at the same time? If this is correct then 1-4 intake valves will be closed at the same time and 5-8 will be closed at the same time? So you will check 4 valves at a time and you will do this 4 times. Correct or no?

 

yeh, when u have it to tdc, u can check all valves of cyl1, then rotate the crank 180 counter clockwise, and check cyl3, repeat and check cyl4, repeat and check cyl2

hope that helps

 

It helps, thanks.
