Lmfao.Reminder: No means No.
Thank youBest thread I've seen here in years. Keep up the good work.
i did my valves once before,im doing them again tomorrow actually,just had the heads off,but i went by what i think zero lash is also...lol....i think i got it anyway....lolI got my push rods in today, tried to set the valve lash. Well I suck.
After some adjusting of the guide plates with a dremel, the rockers lined up.
Then I went about setting my valve lash too zero then a 3/4 turn with the lifter on the "heel" of the cam. Well never having done this before I had too Google what zero lash "felt" like.
After doing cylinders 1 and 2. I went to 3 and something strange happened, instead of the lifter preloading the valve started to depress........... so I checked that didn't turn the wrench very hard....... then I push on the valve with my hand, nothing. Well I put some ass behind it and the valve moved, eehhhh normal I suppose.
My biggest head scratcher was the fact that I am having a hard time with this... I hope my lifters aren't collapsed, I doubt they are but I can't seem the depress the spring in the lifter.....
Hhmmm... I ran out of daylight today, so I will bash my face into it again tomorrow...
.......this part is to be read quickly and without pause for dramatic effect......
.......begin rant......
biggest problem is the intake is on already, and the fuel rails and harness and all that stuff I spent 3 hrs of my life tie wrapping down and wire looming in place so it all looks clean and nifty and now I might have to pull it all off again just to watch the dam lifters depress in the bores because I didn't think far enough ahead to realize that changing the entire valve train setup might just turn into an issue because that's just what happens to me....... often.
.....End rant... I will now return you to your regularly scheduled forum.
So what should I do now???
Thanks
