OK, so I have searched and can't find a thread related to my situation, maybe because people are smarter and more experienced than me. The question is pretty much spelled out in the topic description.
The crank, rods, piston and cylinders are 2.0, the heads are machined 1.7, what measurement do I use for the valve adjustment? 1.7 or 2.0? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I am leaning towards 1.7 but would like to get an educated opinion from the group. Help please, I want to re-do the valve adjustment before I mess with anything else. |

Pull number 1 spark plug ... stick your finger in the spark plug hole ... have someone rotate the engine ... when you start to feel pressure on your finger you are on the compression stroke (both valves closed) and then you can bring the mark up in the notch, assuming you are rotating the engine in the correct direction.
You can also look for the notch in the flywheel and line it up with the split in the case. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) That book would be one of 4 in my collection. No, I was just having a brain fart when it came to valve adjustments. I knew better but was dazed and confused so screwed the pooch. The thread that the Cap'n started on valve adjustments are simple, straight forward and how I did MG motors. I was just stupid and over thought the problem. Will be back under the car tonight correctly setting clearances and hopefully getting it started. |
