I'm viewing the great valve adjustment article over at pelican & have my one wheel off the ground to get it just right but I have no viewing ports into my flywheel.
How then can I get the tdc worked out? I did the straw in the #1 cylinder trick too, put it in & note when it is most pushed out and before it goes back into the chamber... But it still feels like its not just right. Thought? |

Had help to hone the cylinders, and pistons, got new rings in all around and even replaced a couple cylinders and pistons. Have it back to heads... don't have the retention springs for the pushrods still I'll get the rest back in place in the morning and we'll see what my compression is like. It was 1-40, 2-80, 3-70, 4-80 this morning... yikes. This IS my last horah on this trip, either I start making tracks, or leave it as far as I get tomorrow and fly home. I am truly exhausted at this point. Thanks for all your advice everyone! |
