Re: adjusting valves question
thats one of the ones i read ..the last paragraph it says to spin 180 to do the other cylinders did it mean spin it 90 at a time? some when the up arrows are facing the left that is cylinder 3? when there pointing down that is cylinder 2 and to; the right is 4??????

Re: adjusting valves question
No you must turn it 180 degrees each time. If you look at a crank shaft it will help you understand. At TDC cylinders 1 and 3 are at the top, valves on 1 are closed and vales on 3 are open, when you spin the crank shaft 180 degrees now 2 and 4 are at the top etc.

Re: adjusting valves question
Ok I did my valves today it was pretty easy but I came across a situation when the cams are Tdc I couldn't adjust intake valves on cylinder one because the lobe is against the rocker and same thing wen I spin the crank 180 cylinder 2 I believe is the same way is this normal

Re: adjusting valves question
ok, let me simplify this for you since no one has yet.
Set the crank at TDC, pistons 1 and 4 will be up, 2 and 3 will be down.
Mind you, firing order is 1 4 3 2.
So at TDC, adjust the exhaust and intake valves for the no 1 cylinder. Turn the crank 180 degrees counterclockwise and the cams should spin 90 degrees. Now cylinders 1 and 4 are down, and 2 and 3 are up. Follow the firing order and it should be a cake walk for you. each time you move to the next cylinder, turn the crank 180 degrees, the cams will spin 90. Hope this clearifies everything for you.

Re: adjusting valves question
There is little room for error when setting a cylinder for checking both the intake and exhaust valves at the same time. Setting the crank just a hair too far in either direction can leave cam lobes on one side pressing their rocker arms. Less experienced people especially will benefit from setting one pair of valves at a time. Just turn the crank until the cam lobes of one valve pair are pointing upward away from the valves. You can then be certain that the cams aren't pressing the rockers.
