Default Re: Valve Lash Adjustment: running or not?

All done. The EOIC method that VintageMuscleCar first mentioned worked great and I can't imagine doing this without the bump-switch. The passenger side had more loose ones. I put them all at 0.12. It's quieter and smoother now, yet still has that lump in the idle that Rob mentioned. In fact, it got lumpier and the engine idle dropped about 150. Had to readjust back up to 750. Runs and sounds great. Yes Rick, I actually drove it. Not just up and down the driveway, but actually on the street [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Rob, I think it was dyno'ed with headers, but Rick would know for sure. I have the output chart (somewhere). I'll locate it later this evening and post the numbers.

Thanks again everyone.
Dennis
