"One hour" tight. We go by the hour, here.drober23 wrote:I adjusted the valves today. When I did so, I did the "push-test" that Colin had mentioned above. I did not see any signs of the valve sticking. A couple valves were a little tight though. Since my engine is set to zero lash, I am not sure exactly how tight. From the screws point of view, two were "5-minutes" tight. As in, the screw was pointing at 5-o'clock before the adjustment, and 4-o'clock after. I was able to wedge my finger in there and spin the push rod though!
I have a vacuum gauge, and will poke around with that once I get an alternator that wants to charge.
Failing that, Colin can help me with it when he visits
So, that is a good point and a good line of inquiry . . . did one of your valves/seats change dimensions and cool to a slightly open position?
If so, perhaps "0" plus an hour looser for general valve adjustment?
