Re: anyone know how to do a valve adjustment (HybridTypeR80)
doing a valve adjust itsnt to hard. i just takes some time and practice to do it.
what kind of engine are you doing it on
B-series you slide the feeler gauge(to whatever spec you need, stock, or modified cam) at the lobe of the cam at the rocker arm
D-series you slide the feeler gauge(to whatever spec you need, stock, or modified cam) at the lashcap, or the tip of the rocker that touches the top of the valve.
even though these are a bit different the principle is the same, just where the measurement is taken is at different points.
now i may get this wrong but im gona try, this series of events is kind of confusing at first so im nto sure if i have it completely down...
take the vavle cover off, get a large ratched and a socket that fits on the crank pulley bolt.
rotate the engine over and watch the tops of the vavles on number 4 cylinder(closest to distributor) as soon as you see the intake valves start to dip, stop
now you adjust the valves on cylinder 1.
now rotate the engine over till you see cylinder 2 intakes start to dip, then adjust cylinder 3.
rotate engine again till you see cylinder 4 start to dip, then adjust cylinder 1.
rotate the engine again till you see 3 start to dip and then adjust cylinder 2.
its kind of hard to put into words, its easier to see it...but i hope this helps
it will take you a few times till you get a hang on the process.
also it will take you a few times to figure out how to use the feeler gauge, it may seem like an easy tool, and it is, but there are fine lines when doing valve adjusts that can make a big difference.
one way to do it is to pull the feeler in and out a couple time, it shoud have slight drag, but not too much, but yet it shouldnt just fall right out...
its one of those car things that you just have to get the feeling of...
