Allright, so about a two weeks ago i was fixing an oil leak on my engine and decided to pop the valve covers off and mess with the valves to get rid of the awful clicking that had been going on the past 5-6 months.. I have adjusted the valves about 11 times and the car just wont run.. most of the times i tryed i used the method for hydrolic lifters and had no compression.. so i started adjusting them looser and teh car would fire and run really badly but only with my foot mildly on the gas.
So i was sitting, frustrated and thinking about it.. and i had hear about solid lifters and realized that that is is probably why the other methods dont work. so i started reading on solid lifters and i cant seem to find a lash for them, every thing i read on adjusting them only says to set the lash, but i dont know where to find that info..
the engine in the car right now is a 68 302 that was built in the early 90's by a guy that ended up killing himself and his wife sold the drive train to my uncle. So i dont know anything about it. Just that it has a mild cam.
So if anyone can give me a number they are pretty sure about or a site that can give me the info i need it would be great. I havent driven my car in 2 weeks and im starting to get the itch.
