Re: Valve Lash Adjustment: running or not?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: VintageMusclecar</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I personally advise using the "EOIC" method, i.e. "exhaust opening intake closing" method.
With the engine at operating temp (and turned off), adjust one cylinder at a time on each bank. Carefully bump the engine over just until the exhaust rocker starts to open the valve. Stop, and adjust the intake valve on that cylinder. Then bump the engine over again just until the intake rocker has started to close. Stop, then adjust the exhaust valve for that cylinder. This method ensures that the lifter is down on the heel of the lobe.
Lather, rinse and repeat as necessary. </div></div>
Ditto this on the bbc...I've done it via the crank index on our bbc stuff, and it's a pain, and not any better than the EO/IC method. Something to think about for those that set them off of the crank angle(s), is you need to first verify TDC, as balancers have been known to move...!
Good info on the 30-30 cam...
